Pyrenees - arrived in WA in 1851

This 832 ton ship was built at Sunderland in 1851. It was employed twice as a convict transport for Western Australia and left Torbay, England on March 30, 1851 bound for the Swan River Colony. On this voyage she carried the fourth of 37 shipments of male convicts destined for Western Australia. The voyage took 90 days and the Pyrenees arrived in Fremantle on June 28, 1851 with 96 passengers and 293 convicts [Erickson]. Thomas Eagles and Alex C. Macleroy were the captain and surgeon respectively.

There were no deaths recorded on the convict shipping and description lists and 294 convict numbers were assigned for the voyage ranging from (384 to 677) although only 293 were mentioned in the reference above.
