In May 1821 the Blenden Hall departed for Bombay; unfortunately on 22 July the weather was foggy and she drifted on to the rocks at Inaccessible Island in the South Atlantic. Two seamen drowned trying to swim to shore. However, all the passengers and the rest of the crew reached shore safely. Once there, they were marooned for four months. They subsisted on celery, penguins, albatrosses, birds' eggs, and seal meat. On 19 October six men sailed for Tristan da Cunha on a boat or raft that the survivors had constructed; this party was never heard from again. The survivors constructed a second boat and with three men aboard it reached Tristan da Cunha on 8 November. Two boats set out from the island and rescued the remainder of the survivors.
