Gilmore

Gilmore, under the command of W.H. Geary, arrived 15 December 1829, with Thomas Peel and settlers; his other two ships were the Rockingham and the Hooghly. The Rockingham was wrecked.
Among the passengers were Adam Pearson Armstrong and family. Geary and Peel are thought to have fought a duel: see Alexandra Hasluck's bio of Peel for details.
Other passengers included Richard Meares and family
