Career
Isabella appears in the Register of Shipping with Maughan as master and woner, and with trade London to Hamburg.[1]
Isabella, under the command of George Maughan left Cowes, Isle of Wight on 21 February 1833 with a general cargo and arrived at Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, on 24 July 1833.[3]
She left Mauritius on 25 February 1837 with two military convicts and cargo. She sailed via Hobart Town on 22 April arriving at Sydney on 6 May. No convicts died on the voyage.[4]
Isabella sailed from Sydney for London, under the command of Captain Ryan, on 6 March 1838, with passengers and cargo.[5] A "piratical brig" under a Spanish flag boarded her on 4 July and took a new main- top-sail, a cask of beef, and various other articles. Isabella then arrived safely at Torbay.[6]
She is last listed in Lloyds Register in 1856 with E.S. Lyle, master, and T.S.Atkins, owner. She no longer has a trade listed.[2]
