Clara
There were two ships called Clara that brought convicts to the Swan River Colony.
The first voyaged out in 1853 and 1854 as 'bride ships'. She later arrived 3 July 1857 with 95 pensioner guards and their families, and 262 convicts.
The second Clara arrived 13 April 1864 with 112 passengers — mostly pensioner guards and their families — six warders, and 301 convicts.
