Brothers (1816 ship)

Brothers was a 40-ton schooner wrecked in Bass Strait, Tasmania in 1816.

On 25 June 1816 the ship was anchored near the Kent Group in Bass Strait when an easterly gale broke her cables drove her ashore.

Her cargo of twenty tons of salt and 800 bushels of wheat were lost overboard.

For ten weeks the survivors lived on wheat washed ashore and whatever else they could scavenge until the brig, Spring, under the command of Captain Bunster, rescued them.
