Norfolk (sloop)

The Colonial sloop ''Norfolk'' was built on Norfolk Island in 1798. The 25 ton sloop was constructed from Norfolk Island Pine.
:"The necessity of a vessel to keep up a more frequent intercourse with Norfolk Island, …having been much felt by the want of various stores …occasioned Captain Townson, the Commanding officer, to construct a small decked boat, sloop rigged, in which he sent His letters to this port..."〔
(Jackson 15 June 1798. )
〕〔The Matthew Flinders Electronic Archive at the State Library of New South Wales.〕
In his book Geoffrey Ingleton states Norfolk "… started life as the longboat of HMS Sirius" This is unfounded, (it is impossible to widen a boat ) Ingleton used the above as his reference.〔Geoffry C. Inglton "Matthew Flinders Navigator and Chartmaker 1986" ISBN 0-949104-01-9〕
Governor Hunter quickly put ''Norfolk'' under the command of Matthew Flinders to be used as a survey vessel. In 1798-99 ''Norfolk'' was used by Flinders and Bass to circumnavigate Tasmania – proving the existence of Bass Strait. Flinders also took ''Norfolk'' north to chart Cook's ''Morton's Bay'' (now Moreton Bay) and Hervey's Bay (Hervey Bay).〔''A Voyage to Terra Australis, with an accompanying Atlas''. 2 vol. – London : G & W Nicol, 18. July 1814.〕〔''The Early History of Tasmania'', R.W.Giblin 1928〕
''Norfolk'' was then used to supply produce from the Winsor Area to Port Jackson, until 1800 when she was seized by convicts, at the mouth of the Hawkesbury River. Intending to sail her to Maluku, the convicts ran her aground at Stockton on the northern side of the mouth to the Hunter River, today the point is named Pirate Point.
In 1998-99 Bern Cuthbertson OAM from Sandy Bay, Tasmania, re-enacted all of ''Norfolk''s journeys in a replica of ''Norfolk'', constructed of Tasmania Huon and Celery Top pines. The replica ''Norfolk'' is now on display at The Bass and Flinders Centre in George Town on Tasmania's Tamar River.〔http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1157394〕
