[4] Loss: Lloyd's List reported on 14 April 1826, based on a letter from Sydney dated 21 September, that the country ship Valetta, Phillips, master, had wrecked on 10 July 1825 on the coast of New South Wales, but that her crew and most of the materials had been saved.

The next day she weighed, but before she could raise her anchor, the wind shifted and drove her on some rocks.

She beat heavily during the night and the next day her crew landed her provisions to lighten her.

Her crew anchored her in 25 fathoms of water and set to work with the pumps.

He put a deck on the longboat, and together with the second mate and nine seamen, set out for Sydney.

[6] On 26 September 1825 the Colonial sloop Brisbane sailed to the wreck of Valetta in Torres Strait.
