Melbourne's Tall Ship

2. About The Enterprize
Enterprize was built so that an important part of Melbourne’s
history would be preserved and accessible to the people of
Victoria. She is a replica of the ship that brought the first
settlers to Melbourne in 1835. Click here to read more about
the history.

3. History of Enterprize and the Settlement of
Melbourne
I
In April 1835, John Pascoe Fawkner purchased Enterprize to search for a
suitable settlement site in the Port Phillip District. When Fawkner
himself was forced to remain behind by creditors, Enterprize departed
George Town, Tasmania on 4 August 1835 under Captain Peter Hunter.
On the 30 August 1835 the settlers disembarked to build their store and
clear land to grow vegetables. Settlement at Melbourne had begun.
After the settlement voyage, Enterprize continued operating as a coastal
trading vessel. She eventually disappeared from the shipping register
in 1847, having been wrecked on the bar of the Richmond River in
northern New South Wales, with the loss of two lives.
