The Dunbar was built at Sunderland, England and launched on 27 November 1853. She made her first voyage to Australia in 1856. On the night of 20 August 1857 during her second voyage to Australia, the Dunbar was wrecked near South Head, Port Jackson. Of the 121 people on board, only one survived. Various objects were washed up in the days following the accident and additional relics have been discovered more recently by skindivers. - Description source
