The Tonquin was an American merchant ship owned by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company and used in the Maritime Fur Trade of the early 19th century. The ship was used to establish fur trading outposts on the Northwest Coast of North America, including Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. The 290-ton bark was destroyed and sunk at Clayoquot Sound in June 1811, after its captain and crew were killed following a dispute with chief Wickaninnish of the Nootka people.
