She grounded just north of Port Angeles, WA in October 1862 and was destroyed by pounding surf shortly thereafter.

Cadboro first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1824 with T. Rubie, master, C. Hicks, owner, and trade Leith coaster.

[2] In 1828 the Cadboro was used in an asymmetric use of force[clarification needed] by HBC Chief Factor John McLoughlin against the S'Klallam tribe after an earlier raid.

A few days later, she became the first Hudson's Bay Company vessel to be seized by US Customs for non-payment of duties for goods, impounded at Nisqually.

The schooner Cadboro is now recalled in the name of a dark-chocolate infused whisky produced by James Bay Distillers of Everett, WA.
