Summary

The "Buffalo"(originally named the "Hindostan") was built of teak at Calcutta by Bonner and Horsburgh and launched on 4th January 1813. In October 1813 she was bought by the British Navy, renamed and classed as a sixth rater. She served as a convict ship in 1833 before her 1836 voyage to South Australia with Captain John Hindmarsh. She was an important ship in South Australian maritime history, serving many useful purposes before her eventual wrecking on the 28th July, 1840 in a storm at Mercury Bay, New Zealand.
