Stirling Castle

Brig of 351 tons chartered to bring Scottish immigrants to Sydney in 1831, carrying the founders of the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts. Its destruction on the north eastern coast of Australia in 1836 was later to become infamous when the survivors were saved by local Aboriginal people before returning to civilisation.
