The entry for Isabella in Lloyd's Register for 1840 gave her master as "M'Ausland", her owner as H. Nelson, her homeport as London, and her trade as London to Sydney. [3]
Under the command of Alexander McAusland and surgeon Henry Mahon, Isabella left Dublin, Ireland, on 5 March 1840 and arrived at Sydney on 24 July 1840, having sailed via the Cape of Good Hope. [4] She embarked 119 female convicts, passengers, and cargo. No convicts died on the voyage. [5]
Isabella sailed from Sydney for Newcastle on 27 August in ballast. [6] She arrived back in Sydney on 6 October. On 22 December, Isabella left Port Jackson bound for Guam in ballast. [7]
While sailing to Guam, Isabella was wrecked on a reef in the Caroline Islands on 30 January 1841. The crew reached Manila safely after twenty-seven days in the boats. [8]
