Recovery (1816 ship)

Recovery was a sloop that was wrecked near Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia in 1816.

In early June 1816 Recovery headed from Hawkesbury to Port Jackson with a cargo of grain when a storm came up that blew Recovery out to sea.

On turning the ship around it was wrecked near Port Stephens.

The crew of two men, and a woman passenger, struggled ashore and walked 50 miles to Newcastle.

At Newcastle they were given passage to Sydney on the sloop, Windsor which was also wrecked.
