1. ↑ Thomas Peel set sail for the newly founded Swan River Colony, Western Australia, in 1829 with three ships: the Gilmore, the Rockingham and the Hooghly. These three ships were loaded with general cargo consisting of farming implements, cattle, horses, and other farm animals, building material and a number of settlers with furniture and other household goods.The Rockingham was built in Sunderland, England, by Laing in 1818. She had a tonnage of 427 tons. The Rockingham had previously travelled to India in 1822-3 under Captain Charles Beach. She was the last of Peel’s three ships to arrive, having left London in January 1830, and arrived in mid-May under command of Captain Haliburton. Her late departure was due to bad weather and doubts of the Swan River Colony’s viability, which were circulating in England. Upon her arrival, a naval officer guided her through reefs to Cockburn Sound. Peel wished for the settlers and cargo to be brought ashore at once, despite the worsening weather. This meant the Rockingham was nearer shore when a huge storm blew up during the night. The ship’s capstan broke due to the strain put upon it, her rudder was damaged and the strong winds drove her and four other onto the beach. The 180 settlers were landed in the surf, but all survived. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:q7NApqhtbT0J:https://www.mandurah.wa.gov.au/~/media/Files/CoM/Facilities/Museum/Thomas-Peels-Ships.pdf%3Fla%3Den+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au
