Governor King was a 38-ton schooner built in 1803 by James Underwood, Sydney, Australia and was wrecked in April 1806.

Governor King was launched in May 1803 by James Underwood, for Kable and Underwood.[1]

On 20 April 1806 Governor King arrived off Port Jackson from Norfolk Island.[2] Finding the wind direction unfavourable for entering the harbour the ship headed north to Newcastle and dropped anchor in the harbour. A strong current dragged the ship on the 22 April and it hit the rocks so violently that the stern shattered and it filled instantly, breaking up in a few hours. The crew and much of the cargo of pork being carried was saved but the ship was destroyed.[3][4][5]
