Enchantress first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1826 with Taylor, master, Drews, owners, and trade London–Rio de Janeiro.

[1] On 23 November 1832 Captain D. Roxburg sailed from England for Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales.

Enchantress, Captain David Roxborough, arrived in Port Jackson from Mauritius on 16 January 1834.

She was coming from England when she hit some rocks and sank off the south-west coast of Bruny Island in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, at the mouth of the Derwent River, Van Diemens Land.

[2] An Australian government website reports that as Enchantress started to sink, her captain and owner David Roxburgh, all the boys, and all but one of the passengers took to the quarter boats and reached Partridge Island.
