Wanstead was a two-decker sailing ship built of fir in 1811 in America at Newbury Point, almost surely under another name.

[1] Under the command of Henry Moore she sailed from Spithead, England on 24 August 1813, and arrived at Port Jackson on 9 January 1814.

[2] When she left Britain she sailed in company with, among others, Windham and General Hewett, and with HMS Akbar providing an escort for the first part the journey.

[7] Lloyd's Register for 1815 still showed her trade as London-Botany Bay, but indicated that she had received a new master, J. Strickland, later in the year.

The next year Moore was still Wanstead's owner, and Strickland her master, but she was no longer armed and her trade was Liverpool–the Brazils.
