Edwin was a ship that was wrecked near Cape Hawke, New South Wales, Australia in late June 1816.

Edwin was a schooner of 15 tons and owned by John Palmer in Sydney.

Here it was driven ashore near Cape Hawke, in late June or early July 1816.

Matthews with his wife, young child and two crew made it to shore but the local aborigines took their clothes and provisions.

Forced to live on shellfish and grass they walked southwards towards Newcastle getting to within fifteen miles before Mrs Matthews and the child collapsed from exhaustion.
