Brixton was built in the United States of America in 1802, with sources disagreeing on where, and under a different name. The British Royal Navy seized her in 1805 and she was sold in prize. She then traded widely, sailing to the West Indies, Canada, Bengal, Australia, and Russia. Between 1835 and 1842 she made two voyages to the southern whale fishery as a whaling ship, and was last listed in 1842.

Career

The Royal Navy seized the vessel that would become Brixton for trading with the French. A prize court condemned her on 26 April 1805 and new owners named her Brixton.Шаблон:Sfnp

Brixton, Captain Lusk, sailed on 24 April 1821, from London for Australia, She reached Hobart in August and then arrived on 16 September at Sydney. She was not a convict transport per se, but she apparently carried convicts between colonies in both 1821 and on a second voyage in 1823. Most of the passengers aboard Brixton were free passengers, and on this first visit to Australia she brought missionaries. She sailed from Port Jackson on 26 November and Hobart on 29 December for London, via the Cape of Good Hope.

On 19 January 1823 Brixton arrived at Hobart with passengers. She sailed to Sydney from Hobart with a notable passenger, John Dunmore Lang, who had come out to Hobart aboard Шаблон:Ship. Lang intended to establish a Presbyterian Church in Sydney.

On 24 May Brixton was at anchor at Sydney during a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt struck her mainmast, destroying it. Later she transported seven convicts to Port Macquarie.
