Captain Henry Waterhouse (13 December 1770 – 27 July 1812) was an English naval officer of the Royal Navy who became an early settler in the Colony of New South Wales, Australia.
[2][3] In 1786, Waterhouse joined HMS Sirius as a midshipman after Cumberland House recommended him to Governor Arthur Phillip.
[2] On 2 October 1788, Sirius was sent to pick up supplies from Cape of Good Hope, completing a circumnavigation on its return in March 1789.
Waterhouse died at his father's home in Smith Street, Westminster, and was buried on 5 August 1812 at St John the Evangelist.
Waterhouse was witness to his sister Elizabeth's (born 14 June 1768)[1] marriage to his friend and associate, naval surgeon George Bass.
[2][5] With the death of Barnes and his return to New South Wales, Waterhouse arranged for Maria to be sent to live with his father in London.
