The Abbey was a wooden brigantine that was wrecked at Crowdy Head, New South Wales in 1868.

During the period 1858–1866, she was engaged mainly in the trade between Circular Head, Tasmania, and Hobsons Bay, Melbourne, carrying a cargo of general produce and items such as candles and soap.

[1][2] The ship's captain, James Crocket, made this journey at least five times between 5 July 1859 and the 7 May 1862.

[10] In 1867 the vessel made runs from Newcastle to Melbourne stopping on the return voyages at Sydney.

The following day, she ran aground three miles north of Crowdy Head, in a gale which claimed several other ships.
