The '''Borrowdale''' was a [[First Fleet]] storeship of 272 tons, built in [[Sunderland]] in [[1785]]. She left [[Portsmouth]] on [[13 May]] [[1787]], and arrived at [[Port Jackson]], [[Sydney, Australia]] on [[26 January]] [[1788]]. She left Port Jackson on [[14 July]] [[1788]] to return to [[England]] via [[Cape Horn]]. The crew was so badly affected by [[scurvy]] that the [[master Mariner|master]], [[Hobson Reed]], took her to [[Rio de Janeiro]], where the harbour master and his men had to bring the ship to its berth. Five of the crew died on the homeward voyage.
