William Hammond was a barque used to transport convicts to Western Australia. Built in Sunderland in 1853 for Thomas and Co, William Hammond was 149.5 feet (45.6 m) long, 28.6 feet (8.7 m) wide and 19 feet (5.8 m) deep, and weighed 683 tons. On 30 September 1854, she sailed from Plymouth to Hobart with 261 emigrating passengers on board. She docked in Hobart on 25 December after a journey of 83 days during which three children died. Little is known of the William Hammond's subsequent service, except that there is a record of immigrants arriving in Melbourne on the William Hammond in 1862.
