Greyhound, Captain Thomas Ritchie, left Bengal on 7 October 1817 bound for Port Jackson. On the way she stopped at Bencoolen, Batavia, and the Derwent (Hobart). She delivered to Port Jackson seven convicts as well as merchandise. She also carried a passenger, Lieutenant Hector Macquarie of the 86th Regiment, the nephew of Governor Lachlan Macquarie.[1]

On this journey Ritchie rediscovered the Tryal Rocks. He did not recognise them as such, however, as the Tryal Rocks were then thought not to exist, and they had previously been thought to be well to the west of Ritchie's reef. In 1920, Ritchie's discovery was published as "Ritchie's Reef"; it was also sometimes referred to as "the Greyhound's Shoal".Шаблон:Sfnp
