High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Three Bees was a convict ship that caught fire in Sydney Cove in 1814. The Three Bees was built in Bridgewater in 1813. Owned by Buckles and Co, it was registered in London and its master was John Wallis. Three Bees arrived in Sydney Cove on 6 May 1814 with a cargo of male convicts. After the 210 convicts were all disembarked a fire was discovered on the ship at 4.30 pm on 20 May 1814. It was later thought that the fire was caused by candle snuff being dropped on oakum when an officer and boy had entered the hold. It soon became apparent that the fire could not be fought and so the Three Bees was cut loose from its moorings and the other ships in the cove maneuvered to avoid the ship. At 5.30 pm the first gun exploded on board and a swivel ball smashed into the parlour of the house of Captain Piper, luckily missing everything but a writing table. The ship drifted onto Bennelong Point and shortly afterwards its magazine exploded. The Three Bees was a total loss.
