Windsor was a ship wrecked on Long Reef near Sydney, Australia in 1816.
Windsor was a sloop of 22 tons owned and under the command of Henry Major. Windsor left the Hawkesbury and headed for Sydney when she was blown well off shore by a gale. It is probable that it was this gale that ended up sinking Recovery the same month. Eventually Windsor reached Newcastle where she picked up Recovery{{'}}s survivors. Coming into Sydney the ship was wrecked on Long Reef but all of Windsor{{'}}s crew and Recovery{{'}}s survivors were able to get to safety and walk to Sydney.{{cite book |title=Australian Shipwrecks |volume=1 1622-1850 |first=Charles |last=Bateson |authorlink=Charles Bateson |publisher=AH and AW Reed |location=Sydney |year=1972 |isbn=0-589-07112-2 |page=53| url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/21620563}}{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2176717 |title=Sydney. |newspaper=The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser |volume=FOURTEENTH |issue=659 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=6 July 1816 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}
