amounting to £3000 in favor of Tarbutt. On 28 December 1821 Apollo grounded on Margate Sand for several hours as she was on her way to Madras. A boat from Margate got her off and provided her with an anchor. She had not suffered material damage. Still, she returned to the Thames as a consequence of the grounding. Captain George Tennant sailed for Madras on 27 February 1822. Fate On 14 April 1823 Apollo was wrecked on Green Point, Cape of Good Hope, while on her way to London from Bengal and Madras. Lloyd's List reported on 27 June that she was on shore near Moulin Battery, and a complete wreck. The passengers and crew, except for the cook, were saved; the cook had been killed by the explosion of a gun fired as a signal when she first grounded. Although the weather was good and 100 men laboured to save the vessel, neither Apollo nor the valuable part of her cargo could be saved. In November 1823 Tarbutt sued Tennant and Nesbit for payment of £3000 bond that they posted. The court decided in Tarbutt's favor.
