Francis (1793)
''Francis'' was a 41-ton (bm) colonial schooner that was partially constructed at the Deptford Dockyard, England, and sent in frame aboard the ''Pitt'' to Australia to be put together for the purposes of exploration. The vessel had originally been designed for George Vancouver’s discovery voyage of the west coast of North America. It is generally regarded as the first ship built in Australia. For some years it was the only government vessel available to the governor. Although it arrived in frame in February 1792, assembly was not complete until 17 months later. ''Francis'' was launched at Sydney Cove, Port Jackson on 24 July 1793. She left Port Jackson on 8 September, with ''Britannia'' to Dusky Bay, New Zealand on a survey and sealing expedition. ''Francis'' made a survey of Port Stephens in February 1795 under the command of deputy surveyor-general Charles Grimes.

Franciscus
Franciscus is a Latin given name, originally an epithet meaning "the Frank, the Frenchman". It was applied to Saint Francis of Assisi (1181/82–1226). Francis had been baptized Giovanni (John); his father was Italian and his mother Provençale ( at the time not considered French); his father was on business in France when he was born, and when he returned to Assisi, he began to call his son by the nickname ''Francesco'', in the opinion of G. K. Chesterton possibly because out of a general enthusiasm for all things French, or because of his commercial success in France.Chesterton, Gilbert Keith (1924). "St. Francis of Assisi" (14 ed.). Garden City, New York: Image Books. p. 158. After the canonization of Saint Francis of Assisi in 1228, the custom of naming children after saints led to the popularization of ''Franciscus'' as a given name. In the vernaculars of western Europe, the name diversified into the forms Francesco (Italian), Francisco (Spanish and Portuguese), ...
