Biographical information
Before reaching Sydney, Success rounded the southern tip of Western Australia. Pamela Statham-Drew estimates it was around this time, above Cape Leeuwin, that Stirling decided to explore the west coast. The Success reached Sydney heads on 28 November 1826. [1, p 57]
Links to slaver
Stirling had multiple connections to the slave trade. His intergenerational family businesses traded in slave-produced goods in the United States and Caribbean. His brother Walter Stirling received compensation for the loss of enslaved people in Guiana and Barbados. Stirling was stationed in the Royal Navy at Jamaica, where his Uncle Charles Stirling was Commander-in-Chief. They received prize money for capturing ships, some of which contained slave-produced goods. Stirling's father-in-law James Mangles owned a ship which transported enslaved people between Africa and the Caribbean. [Georgie refs]
