Hadlow was a merchant sailing ship built in 1814 at Quebec, British North America. She made two voyages transporting convicts from England and Ireland to Australia. She plied between England, India, and Sierra Leone before being lost with all hands in 1823.
Construction
Hadlow was built for W. Parker & Co.; she was a two-deck full-rigged ship with a coppered hull, she was assessed at around 374 tons (bm).[7][8]

Having left London under the command of one Captain Davison on 27 May 1815,[9] Hadlow sailed from Cromarty, Scotland, to the Hudson Bay in June with 34 colonists from Stromness and possibly Loch Eriboll.[10][11] She arrived in York Factory on 26 August 1815 and left again on 7 September to winter at Strutton Sound. Hadlow arrived back in London on 4 November the following year.[9]

In 1823 she underwent a small repair. The Register of Shipping (1824), gave her master's name as Pounder, and her trade as London—Sierra Leone.[5] Hadlow, Pounder, master, sailed from Gravesend for Sierra Leone on 14 March 1823.
While she was at Sierra Leone, yellow fever broke out on Hadlow, killing four of her crew. The disease was brought to Sierra Leone either by the merchant ship Caroline or by USS Cyane.[29] At the time, Hadlow was under the command of Captain Praguel, or Prangnell.[30]
Fate
Hadlow departed for London on 31 August, but subsequently foundered with the loss of all hands.[31] There was a report of her arriving in The Downs on 4 September 1823,[30] but this is clearly an error.
