This 601-ton barque was built in Dundee in 1848. It was employed as a convict transport and left Plymouth, England on November 22, 1852, bound for the Swan River Colony. She carried the eighth of 37 shipments of male convicts destined for Western Australia. The voyage took 77 days and the Dudbrook arrived in Fremantle on February 2, 1853, with 103 passengers and 228 convicts [Erickson]. John Innes and Charles W. Keveru were the captain and surgeon respectively. Of the 103 passengers, 99 were pensioner guards and their families, the number being made up of 30 pensioner guards, 24 wives, 27 sons and 18 daughters. The other 4 passengers have not been accounted for but were possibly cabin passengers or regular soldiers.
