Duke of Roxburgh was launched in 1828 at Newcastle upon Tyne. Initially she traded with India, but later she often sailed between Great Britain and her Australasian colonies carrying emigrants.[5] She was wrecked in 1864.

Career

Initially, Duke of Roxburgh traded with India. The Register of Shipping (1829) gives her master as Brown, her owner as Pirie and Co., and her trade as London – Madras.[6]

Duke of Roxburgh was one of the earliest immigrant ships to Port Phillip, South Australia, and New Zealand.[7]. Her owner in 1840 was J. Somes, changing to Collard, and her master was Drainer.[4].

Her voyages included London (12 April 1838) to South Australia (28 July 1838), and Plymouth (5 October 1839) to Wellington (7 February 1840) under James Thomson, master. This voyage to Wellington made her the third migrant ship to arrive there. On board were 80 male migrants, including George Hunter, Samuel Duncan Parnell, and William Lyon, and 87 female migrants.

On 1 August 1841, she again left London, stopping at Cork on 1 September and then arriving at Sydney on 10 January 1842. On board were 105 male and 142 female passengers, predominantly migrants.

On 7 May 1843, Duke, as she was affectionately known to crew and passengers, sailed under Captain Collard from England with Francis Russell Nixon, the first Bishop of Tasmania, his wife and family, and Archdeacon Fitzherbert Marriott, together with six other cabin passenger including John Helder Wedge and the future squatter Henry Godfrey. Sailing via Trinidade, Ascension Island, and Cape Colony, Duke reached Hobart Town, Van Diemen’s Land, on 21 July 1843.

She left Hobart Town the following January and arrived at Gravesend on 5 June 1844.

Duke of Roxburgh sailed again from Gravesend on 31 October 1846 and arrived at Port Phillip on 7 March 1847.

Under the command of Capt E. Kirsopp, she left Amoy on 16 August 1851 and arrived at Moreton Bay on 8 November 1851, having touched at Ascension Island. Her passengers were 227 Chinese labourers.[8] She departed again on 26 November 1851 for Sydney with passengers Mrs Swift, Miss Douglass, Mrs Gray, Mr Coxen, Mr Issac, Mr McDonald, and Mr R. Moore.[9]

Fate

Duke of Roxburgh was wrecked in 1864.[10]
