Lord William Bentinck (ship)
Two ships named Lord William Bentinck were launched in 1828,[1] both named for Lord William Bentinck:
- Lord William Bentinck (1828 Yarmouth ship), of 443 tons (bm), launched at Yarmouth. She made one voyage transporting convicts to Tasmania, and three voyages transporting settlers to New Zealand; she was wrecked c.1856.
- Lord William Bentinck (1828 Bristol ship), of 564 tons (bm), launched at Bristol. She made one voyage for the British East India Company and one transporting convicts to Tasmania. She was wrecked in 1840 at Bombay.
The coincidence of name and year of launch, and both having carried convicts to Tasmania, has resulted in some sources conflating the two vessels (e.g., Hackman[2])
