Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsIsabella was launched in Kingston upon Hull in 1813. She initially sailed as a transport, and then as a merchantman trading with Canada. In 1817 the British Admiralty hired her as one of two vessels that would go on an expedition to search for a Northwest Passage. The expedition was unsuccessful. In 1820 she underwent two maritime mishaps, only one of which was substantive. From 1824 until she wrecked in the ice in June 1835 she was a whaler in the northern whale fishery (Davis Strait and Greenland).

Discovery expedition (1818-1819): The Lloyd's Register data does not recognize that the Admiralty hired Isabella in 1817 for a discovery expedition in 1818. She sailed with another hired vessel, Шаблон:Ship. The two vessels was under the command of Commander John Ross, who was sailing in Isabella, and their task was to explore Baffin Bay. They accompanied the Davis Strait whalers.Шаблон:Sfnp
Of IsabellaШаблон:'s crew of 54 men, four officers were clearly from the navy, as were her six marines. The other officers and men were probably civilians, as were Benjamin Lewis (the master and Greenland pilot), and Thomas Wilcox (the mate and also a Greenland pilot).Шаблон:Sfnp (Generally when the navy hired a vessel, it would put a naval officer in command, but keep on the master and crew.) There were also three supernumeraries — Captain Sabine and a sergeant from the Royal Artillery (Sabine being the scientific observer), and the Eskimo Sacheous, who was being repatriated.Шаблон:Sfnp
The expedition left the Thames on 18 April 1818 and arrived at Lerwik on 30 April. By 1 June it was on the eastern side of Davis Strait.Шаблон:Sfnp The expedition followed the coast of Baffin Bay without making any new discoveries.
On 24 June the expedition was at Шаблон:Coord when it became trapped in ice, and Alexandria grounded. The expedition only got free with the assistance of four nearby whalers.Шаблон:Sfnp In late July Ross named Melville Bay and Melville Monument for Viscount Melville, who had given Ross his first commission.Шаблон:Sfnp
In mid-November Isabella and Alexander were reported to have arrived in Brassa Sound, Lerwick. Neither had lost any crew nor had any ill.[2] The expedition did not find any passage to north west, but it did result in whalers knowing that they could work their way out of Davis Strait along the west side, and that there were whales in the fjords and inlets along the way.Шаблон:Sfnp
On 6 January 1820 Isabella, Brady, master, was driven ashore at Spurn Point. A lifeboat rescued the crew, but it was feared that she would be wrecked. She was on a voyage from Miramichi Bay to Hull, Yorkshire.[3] Isabella was later refloated and taken in to Hull.[4]
On 16 July Isabella, Todd, master, was sailing from Hull to Quebec when she ran ashore on a reef of rocks near Lopness. She was gotten off with apparently trifling damage and proceeded on her voyage.[5]

In 1833 Isabella rescued John Ross, whose ship Victory had become beset by ice on Ross's second Arctic expedition.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp Isabella and Шаблон:Ship had spent the season in company andstayed on in the region after the other vessels there had left. Isabella and William Lee sailed about 100 miles further into Lancaster Sound than any other whaler had ever gone. Ross stated that Humphreys was looking for Ross, expecting to find that Ross and his men had been lost.Шаблон:Sfnp Humphreys disputed Ross's claim, stating that he, Humphreys, had been looking for whales. William Lee was still in company when Ross's boats reached Isabella.Шаблон:Sfnp After Humphreys rescued Ross, Isabella continued whaling for about another month.Шаблон:Sfnp
Fate
Captain Robert Carlill sailed Isabella to Davis Strait in 1835. She was wrecked there on 14 June 1835 by ice. Шаблон:Ship rescued her 35 crew on 17 June.[7][8] Some members of the crew were badly frost-bitten. Lee was lost on 1 July; her crew too were saved.Шаблон:Efn
Captain Carlill and part of his crew went into Lively Harbour to secure passage home via Danish packet brigs.Шаблон:Sfnp
