Rachel was launched in the Parish of Terrebonne, Quebec, in 1811.

On 24 January 1813 Rachel, Morin, master, was sailing from Newfoundland to Barbados when she encountered a gale at 41°34′N 46°52′W / 41.567°N 46.867°W / 41.567; -46.867 that dismasted her and reduced her to a complete wreck.

The prevailing winds were from South to West so the crew made for the Western Islands.

There it proved impossible to find the stores required to refit her so she was condemned.

[3] The entry for her in the 1814 Lloyd's Register carried the annotation "condemned".
