Fate: On 5 November 1820 Thomas Durham arrived at the Cape from Algoa Bay. On 14 January 1821 a storm tore Thomas Durham from her moorings in Mossel Bay, South Africa. She was wrecked with the loss of all on board. Captain J[ames] Chissell, having gone ashore, was the only survivor; it was expected that little of her cargo could be saved. She had come from "The Knysus".[4]
