History of Enterprize and the Settlement of
Melbourne
I

• In April 1835, John Pascoe Fawkner purchased
  Enterprize to search for a suitable settlement
  site in the Port Phillip District. When Fawkner
  himself was forced to remain behind by creditors,
  Enterprize departed George Town, Tasmania on 4
  August 1835 under Captain Peter Hunter.
• On the 30 August 1835 the settlers disembarked to
  build their store and clear land to grow
  vegetables. Settlement at Melbourne had begun.
• After the settlement voyage, Enterprize
  continued operating as a coastal trading vessel.
  She eventually disappeared from the shipping
  register in 1847, having been wrecked on the bar
  of the Richmond River in northern New South
  Wales, with the loss of two lives.
