When it returned to Fremantle the Arpenteur had 27 tons of flour, 1,000 bushels of wheat, the rigging and sails that the crew had salvaged from the wreck.

[6] On its final voyage the brig was in the command of Captain John Raines[7] and was being used to transport mail from England that had been collected at Singapore and was to be delivered at Fremantle.

[8] Eventually the ship reached Cheynes Beach where it was in the process of loading whale oil when strong gales rose from the south west blowing the vessel ashore[9] so that it foundered[7] and was wrecked.

[9] The wreck is located approximately 100 metres (328 ft) offshore at the western end of Hassell Beach and lies on a flat sandy bottom.

Used as a dive site, approximately 4.6 metres (15 ft) of planking and framework is visible along with some rounded stone ballast.
