in the first Register folio 78. Robert Ryan therefore has yet 70 acres of land to receive.(160-90=70) This 120-acre grant to Ryan included almost all of the Kirribilli headland including both Kirribilli Point and Milsons Point. Around 1806 Ryan, who knew nothing about farming, sold the property to Robert Campbell, a wealthy Sydney merchant. Campbell built Australia’s first shipbuilding yards there in 1807, at the site that is now occupied by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, Kirribilli. 1814 Quarantine Station The uninhabited 120 acres at Kirribilli was also used briefly for quarantine purposes in 1814 for the people who had arrived on the convict ship Surry. In 1814 the Surry was carrying a "cargo" of 200 male convicts. Passengers on board were 25 men of the 46th Regiment. During the voyage out from England malignant fever (typhoid fever) raged on board and a total of 42 men died before the ship anchored in Port Jackson on 27 July 1814. Of these 42 men: 36 were convicts (listed with their names and dates of death in the Sydney Gazette of 10 September 1814), 2 were of the ship's crew, 2 were soldiers from the 46th Regiment, 1 was the 1st (Chief) Mate, and shortly before the ship anchored the Master (Captain) of the ship also died. (36+2+2+1+1=42). Once the Governor became aware of the situation on board Surry he ordered that the ship be anchored near the uninhabited North Shore and be placed into quarantine. This quarantine was also placed on both the ship and the part of the North Shore off which the ship anchored to allow those on the ship onto land. The Government Orders about the Quarantine were clear that no one was to go near the persons who had arrived on Surry. A guard was to be placed on board the ship, another guard on the land, and severe punishment was promised for anyone who broke the quarantine.
