The Vessel and Her Loss
Built in 1824 at Rye, England, Cadboro was purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1826 for the Pacific Northwest fur trade and served the company for decades along the coast, including an 1828 punitive raid near Port Townsend. Sold out of company service in 1860, she was working as a lumber schooner when she grounded just north of Port Angeles in October 1862 and was destroyed by pounding surf.
