http://cleo.murdoch.edu.au/~wags/pasparm.htm
The barque Parmelia, built in Quebec, Canada in 1825, 117 feet long and of 443 tons, was hired to transport Lieutenant-Governor James Stirling and the first group of free settlers to Swan River to establish a colony there in 1829. Escorted by H.M.S. Sulphur she left England in early February 1829 and hove to off Garden Island on the 31st May. Two days later "Parmelia" was nearly lost when she ran aground on the southbank which bears her name. She was destroyed by fire in an English dockyard on the 1st May 1839.
