Prince of Wales (1786 ship)

Prince of Wales was a transport ship in the First Fleet, assigned to carry convicts for the European colonisation of Australia. There is some ambiguity about her origins and she was probably launched in 1779 at Sidmouth and rebuilt at London in 1786. Still, in 1787 she set sail for Australia, and reachedBotany Bay in January 1788. On a difficult return voyage in 1788–89 she became separated from her convoy, was taken eastward around the world instead of west and drifted helplessly off Rio de Janeiro for a day while her crew was incapacitated with scurvy.

After her return to Britain her owners deployed her as a whaler in the South Seas Fisheries. They then sold her and she became a privateer and letter of marque, before performing a voyage as a slave ship. During this voyage a French privateer captured Prince of Wales; in a process that is currently unclear, she returned to British, albeit new, hands. Her new owners then employed her trading between London and the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and the West Indies again. She was last listed in 1810.

Prince of Wales Hospital (Sydney)

The Prince of Wales Hospital is a 440 bed major public teaching hospital located in Sydney's eastern suburb of Randwick, providing a full range of hospital services to the people of New South Wales, Australia. The hospital has strong ties to the University of New South Wales.

History

The Prince of Wales Hospital had its origins in 1852 with the formation of the Society for Destitute Children which established the Asylum for Destitute Children with the first building opened on 21 March 1858 in Paddington. After an appeal for funds in 1870, the Catherine Hayes Hospital opened, reputedly with plans approved by Florence Nightingale. In 1915, during the First World War the hospital was converted by the NSW Government into a military hospital and then a repatriation hospital, and renamed the Fourth Australian Repatriation Hospital. In 1927 an association between the Coast Hospital and the Fourth Australian Repatriation Hospital at Randwick began. With the opening of the Concord Repatriation General Hospital in 1953, the hospital was renamed the Prince of Wales Hospital, and operated as an annexe of Sydney Hospital. Restructuring and hospital redevelopment has continued to occur to enhance the medical and patient facilities of the hospital, including amalgamation with the Prince Henry Hospital, Royal South Sydney Hospital and the Eastern Suburbs Hospital.
