William Smallpeice Whitington was an early English settler in South Australia, founder of the shipping company Whitington & Co. He emigrated on his own ship New Holland (Captain P. Bussell), arriving in South Australia in July 1840. That cargo, which made for him a tidy profit, included Falklandina and Actaeon, the colony's first thoroughbred mare and stallion, the basis of John Baker's racing stud. He brought in South Australia's first steamers: Corsair and Courier, and the brig Enterprise for trading between the colony's ports. The ships went into service just as overland routes were opening up, and proved a costly mistake.He later invested in a number of mining ventures, at a substantial loss. His descendants included a number of notable individuals.
