Loss
At the time of Hope's loss in 1817 her owner was Solomon Wiseman.
The crew of two, Benjamin Waterhouse (previously mate of HMS Lady Nelson), and James Cohen dropped anchor and rowed ashore to prospect for cedar. They did not return to their ship, and the presumption was that aborigines had murdered them. The ship was subsequently blown ashore and wrecked.[1]
