Windsor (ship)

Windsor (ship)

The " Windsor " was a ship wrecked on Long Reef near Sydney, Australia in 1816.

The "Windsor" was a sloop of 22 tons owned and under the command of Henry Major. The "Windsor" left the Hawkesbury and headed for Sydney when it was blown well off shore by a gale. It is probable that it was this gale that ended up sinking the "Recovery" the same month. Eventually the "Windsor" reached Newcastle where it picked up the survivors of the "Recovery" wreck. Coming into Sydney the ship was wrecked on Long Reef but all the crew and the survivors of the "Windsor" were able to get to safety and walk to Sydney.
