Fate

On 25 October 1821, Waterloo, Lyon, master, was driven ashore at Fish Hook Bay, Cape of Good Hope. The next day she was a total wreck. Her crew were rescued. She was carrying whale oil, some of which was also saved.
At the time, there was a whale oil factory at Fish Hoek. After she wrecked, an auction occurred on the beach of what was left of the cargo she had been loading and of her masts, rigging, and whatever else was left. Early in November, the Cape Town Gazette and African Adviser published a notice that on 6 November, there would be a sale on the beach at Fisch Hoek Bay of Waterloos masts, yards, sails, rigging, boat, provisions, furniture, material and damaged cargo saved from the wreck, as well as her anchors and cables, and that part of her cargo that had not been recovered.
The remains of the wreck now lie in some seven meters of water.
One source assigns this Waterloos fate to a different.
