Hebe (ship) 1808

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hebe was a ship that struck a reef between Low Head and Western Head on the entrance to Port Dalrymple, Tasmania, Australia on 15 June 1808.

The ship was carrying a cargo of Indian goods from Madras to Sydney Australia when it was totally wrecked. All the crew, but one Lascar escaped drowning and returned with the ship's master, Joseph Leigh, to Sydney aboard the Estramina on 11 October 1808. [1]
