Calcutta in 1823.[1] She had a length of 86 ft 0 in (26.2 m), a beam of 23 ft 0 in (7.0 m), and a hold depth of 16 ft 4 in (5.0 m). In 1849 and 1853, she visited Adelaide.
Louisa (1824) was built by Thomas de la Mare at South Beach, St Peter Port,
Guernsey. She had a burthen of 16971⁄94 tons, but was later remeasured at 1413035⁄3500nrtbrig. In 1853 she was sold and her registry transferred to London.[2] She sailed from
Hobart,
Tasmania for
Melbourne,
Victoria on 16 December 1882 and was
last seen the following day off
Bicheno, in bad weather.[3]
