Pestonjee Bomanjee was a wooden sailing ship built in 1834 by James Lang of Dumbarton, Scotland.
[1] Pestonjee Bomanjee was built for East India service, and undertook a number of journeys between the United Kingdom and the Australian colonies.
Gawler and his wife, children, gardener (Joseph Whittaker), and future aide-de-camp (James Collins Hawker) arrived on Pestonjee Bomanjee on 12 October 1838, after a four-month journey to Adelaide via Tenerife and Rio de Janeiro.
[2] Also on the ship were the German Lutheran missionaries Christian Gottlieb Teichelmann and Clamor Wilhelm Schürmann.
In 1848, Pestonjee Bomanjee was felted and her hull sheathed in yellow metal to protect it from marine growths.
