General History:
03/05/1822:
Fine brig PALLADIUM, Crabb, which sailed from Aberdeen 9 March for Riga, has not yet been heard of. As her boats were found on Jutland coast near Robsnaut about 11 March there is much reason to fear that the vessel, with all on board, met a melancholy fate in the tremendous gale of that day, which proved so destructive to shipping on that dangerous coast, as appeared by the many vessels missing and great quantity of wreck cast ashore.
(Glasgow Herald)

Note: Cost at construction, £1140, or £9 10s. per ton.
Despite its loss PALLADIUM continues to be in Lloyd's until 1828. Lloyd's also has the owners as Hall or Hull but this may be a mistake for the builder.
