Olivia.
The schooner Olivia, bound from Launceston Tasmania to Sydney NSW with wheat, coffee and potatoes, was totally wrecked to the south of Twofold Bay NSW on the 19th November 1827. She was driven ashore during a gale. Her owner, John Lucas, the master, Thomas Hammond, a passenger, Frank Leger, and the other five members of the crew succeeded in reaching shore on a raft, but they were ten days before they arrived at a station at Batemans Bay. Details of the Olivia have not been found.
