Alexander was a 227-ton brig built in the United States and captured as a prize during the War of 1812. She first appears in Lloyd's Register for 1815 with Hamilton, master, M'Dowell, owner, and trade Grenoe-Newfoundland.[1]
Under the command of William Hamilton, she sailed from Ireland on 4 November 1815, and arrived at Port Jackson on 4 April 1816.[2] She transported 84 female convicts, three of whom died on the voyage.[3]
Alexander left Port Jackson on 23 June bound for England.[4]
