Sophia Jane was the first paddle steamer to operate in the coastal waters of New South Wales (NSW). She was launched on the Thames in 1826 and arrived in Sydney in May 1831.Sophia Jane was an auxiliary steamer, like all the early steamers, using her paddle wheels only when winds were inadequate or contrary.^[2]Sophia Jane arrived at Sydney on 13 May, having come by sail, with her paddle wheels stowed and her engine not yet commissioned.^[3]

On 12 June 1831 Sophia Jane towed {{ship||Lady Harewood|1791 ship|2}} down the harbour as Lady Harewood set off for England. This was the first application in Australia of steam power to such a task. However, at the same time there was a report that the ship's agent was under instructions to send her on to India unless she could be profitably sold in Australia.^[4] The reason for the tow was that weather conditions were miserable and squally.^[3]

Sophia Jane advertised in the Sydney Herald on 13 June the first Australian steamship cruise to be held on 17 June .^[5]

Captain Biddulph, master and owner of Sophia Jane sold shares in her; by August he had sold 54 of 64 shares.^[3]

Fate

In 1845 Sophia Jane grounded on a reef off Wollongong. She was gotten off, but later that year her owners, facing more extensive repairs, decided to lay her up. Her engine, however, was still operational and was installed in Phoenix.^[3]
