Elizabeth was a merchant ship built at Chepstow, Wales in 1809. She made three voyages transporting convicts from England and Ireland to Australia. Elizabeth is no longer listed after 1832 and may have been lost in 1831.

Fate

Elizabeth was last listed in the Register of Shipping for 1832. She may have been the Elizabeth that wrecked on 7 December 1831 in the Atlantic Ocean and whose crew consequently abandoned her on 12 December and were rescued by Juno. Elizabeth was on a voyage from Quebec to London.[7]
