''Wanstead'' was a two-decker sailing ship built of fir in 1811 in America at Newbury Point. Her hull was sheathed in copper in 1813. Under the command of Henry Moore, who was both master and owner, she sailed from Spithead, England on 24 August 1813, and arrived at Port Jackson on 9 January 1814.〔Bateson (1974), pp.291-2.〕 When she left Britain she sailed in company with, among others, ''Windham'' and ''General Hewett'', and with HMS ''Akbar'' providing an escort for the first part the journey.〔McPhee (2006), pp.16-7.〕 ''Wanstead'' was to transport 120 female convicts, but one was landed before the ship left Britain. Two of the convicts died on the voyage.〔Bateson (1974), p.327.〕 ''Wanstead'' left Port Jackson on 10 February 1814 bound for Batavia. ''Lloyd's Register'' for 1815 still shows her trade as London-Botany Bay, but indicates that she received a new master, J. Strickland, later in the year. The next year Moore is still ''Wanstead''s owner, and Strickland her master, but she is no longer armed and her trade is Liverpool - the Brazils. ==Citations and references== ;Citations ;References *Bateson, Charles, The Convict Ships, 1787-1868, Sydney, 1974.
