- Peter_Hibbs abstract "Peter Kenney Hibbs (c. 1757 – 12 September 1847) was an English mariner.An able seaman on the flagship of the First Fleet, HMS Sirius, Hibbs is one of the few non-convict First Fleeters known to have settled in the new Colony of New South Wales in 1778.Hibbs also claimed to have come earlier to Australia in 1770 as a crewman onboard the HMS Endeavour with Captain James Cook, and to have stepped ashore at Botany Bay with Joseph Banks. However no primary independent evidence exists to verify these claims.Remaining in Australia after 1778, Hibbs played a significant role in the exploration of Tasmania and the eastern seaboard of Australia. In 1798-99, as master (captain) of the colonial built Norfolk, and chosen by his previous master (captain) of HMS Sirius, John Hunter, who was now governor of New South Wales, Hibbs commanded the first vessel to circumnavigate Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmania). This voyage proved that Tasmania was an island and proved the existence of Bass Strait. The discovery of the Bass Straight shortened the travel distance from England to Sydney, as previously the ships had sailed to the south of Tasmania. In 1799, as master of the colonial built Norfolk, and chosen by his previous master of HMS Sirius, John Hunter, who was now governor of New South Wales, Hibbs commanded the first vessel to sail north from Port Jackson (Sydney) to explore and chart Moreton Bay and Hervey Bay.In the 1798-99 voyage around Tasmania, Hibbs had been carrying Matthew Flinders and George Bass aboard the Norfolk, and in the 1799 voyage north Hibbs had been carrying Matthew Finders. Flinders named a cluster of features on the west coast of Tasmania after Hibbs.Hibbs also claimed to have taken part in an earlier expedition in 1789 lead by Governor Arthur Phillip which resulted in the discovery of the Hawkesbury River. Again no primary independent evidence exists to verify this claim.".
