The 430 ton convict ship Scarborough, along with ten other convict ships, arrived at Port Jackson, Sydney, around 7.30pm on the 26th January 1788. Using her yards, she is now lowering her boat ready to disembark the convicts in Sydney Cove.
Scarborough anchored close in the South West corner of the Cove and the brig Friendship was warped alongside. The Prince of Wales and the Borrowdale anchored alongside each other further up the beach and the other ship in the painting, Fishbourne, anchored in the middle of the Cove. The rest of the fleet anchored further out with the two armed vessels, HMS Supply and HMS Sirius standing off the entrance to the Cove as a security measure.
The black Newfoundland dog Hector was owned by Scarborough’s Master, John Marshall. On the 5th May 1788, after completing the delivery of the convicts, John Marshall left Hector ashore to be cared for by Mr. Clark, the contractor's agent, in the colony, and Scarborough sailed for China and then on to England.Returning to Port Jackson on Tuesday 29th June 1790, some two years later remarkably, Hector recognised his master’s ship and swam out to greet him. John Marshall was overjoyed to see him again. Hector then refused to leave his side!
