Dart (1818 ship)

Dart was a merchant ship built at Sunderland, England, in 1818.

She made three voyages from Mauritius to Australia during which she also transported convicts.

Captain George Griffin commanded Dart between 1833 and 1837 voyaging to Newcastle, Mauritius, Swan River, King George Sound, Moreton Bay, and Norfolk Island, with cargoes of coal, wool, wheat, barley, hides, and opossum skins.

Lastly, Dart left Mauritius with two female convicts and arrived in Sydney on 9 July 1834.

While on a voyage for King George Sound, under the command of Captain Patton, sailing from Holdfast Bay, South Australia, on 29 March 1838, Dart went ashore on the Troubridge Shoals in Gulf St Vincent and was wrecked.
