Roslin Castle (also called Roslyn Castle) was a barque of 450 tons built in 1819 at Bristol.[2] She was a merchant ship that also made five voyages transporting convicts to Australia. Described as a single decker, her hull was sheathed in copper in 1823 and was sheathed in patent felt and copper over-boards in 1828. She later served as a whaling vessel out of Sydney, Australia.
