Fate
[edit]Enchantress, Roxburgh, master, was lost on 16 or 17 July 1835. She was coming from England when she hit some rocks and sank off the south-west coast of Bruny Island in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, at the mouth of the Derwent River, Van Diemens Land.[5][2]
By some accounts, all on board survived.[6][7] Alternatively, estimates of the number of lives lost range between 17 and perhaps 50.[8] Captain David Roxburgh was among the survivors.[2]
An Australian government website reports that as Enchantress started to sink, her captain and owner David Roxburgh, all the boys, and all but one of the passengers took to the quarter boats and reached Partridge Island. The second officer, 15 crew members, and one passenger took the longboat. The longboat became tangled in the rigging, and all aboard drowned. Next day the cutter Friends took the passengers to Hobart. Captain Roxburgh and four crew members followed in a gig.[9]
A gale on 27 February 1836, pushed wreckage from Enchantress ashore at Bruny Island. There bay-whalers recovered a few items.[9]
