7 Deaths / Vanished at sea with a party of seven men in January, 1869. The vessel was outbound from Oysterville with a cargo of oysters for San Francisco. Some speculated that the schooner had carried additional sail for a fast passage south, due to the perisable cargo, perhaps causing it to capsize and sink.

Stranded on the sands of the Columbia bar, carrying a cargo of wheat. As it yawed on the sands, the ship's stempost cracked and the rudder was unshipped as the vessel began to break up. The Fort Canby surfboat crew arrived on the scene and rescued the ship's company.
