HMS Beagle was a schooner of the Royal Navy, built by John Cuthbert, Millers Point, New South Wales and launched in December 1872.[2]

She commenced service on the Australia Station at Sydney in 1873 for anti-blackbirding operations in the South Pacific.[2] In April 1875, she ran aground on a reef in the Spanish East Indies. Her crew were rescued.[3] She was paid off in 1883 and sold for £1,000.[2]

Fate

Beagle was then sold to Messers Bell & Davis, who sailed to Peru after defrauding the Australian Mercantile Loan and Guarantee Company. She was then sold at Callao to Silvino Cavalie.[4]
