The HMS Sirius had a relative short career, playing a minor role in Britain's withdrawal from America following the Revolutionary War and a major role in British expansion into the Pacific. Originally a Baltic trading ship named the Berwick, she made several voyages to American colonies before being recommissioned as the 20-gun HMS Sirius, to escort the First Fleet to Australia in 1787-88. The role accomplished the Sirius assumed the mantle of protector and provider to the infant colony until her loss in March 1790, at Norfolk Island.
