Description

It was the first merchant vessel to sail between Canada and Port Phillip, just five years after the settlement at Port Phillip was established, and was flouting British Navigation Laws when it did so. It is archaeologically significant for its evidence of ship construction, cargo stowage and cargo types. It is educationally and recreationally significant as the wreck of an intact wooden merchant ship with its early cargo intact.
