There is some ambiguity as to when she was lost. Lloyd's List gave the month and year as November 1795.[3] Another source gives the date of loss as 22 January 1796. It stated that the loss occurred in the Cape Padrone area and the Ann and Eliza was carrying rice and arrack from Bengal to England. It further stated that six of the 42 people on board survived.[4] Captain Richard Haldane was among those lost. A third source gave the loss as occurring in March 1796.[5] The EIC gave the year of her loss as 1797.[2]
