On 1 May 1821 Olive Branch, Kidd, master, arrived at the Cape. On 3 March an unknown ship had run into her a 15°0′S 29°33′W / 15.000°S 29.550°W causing damages and carrying away Olive Branch's foremast and bowsprit.[3]
On 21–22 July 1822 a tremendous gale drove Olive Branch, Kind, master, ashore at the Cape of Good Hope.[4] She had been nearly loaded for London. A letter dated 10 August stated that the greater part of Olive Branch's cargo had been saved, but that she had been condemned.[5] The next report was that Olive Branch, Kind, master, had been condemned and sold.[6]
The entry for Olive Branch in the 1823 volume of LR carried the annotation "condemned&sold".[7]
The same storm also resulted in the loss of other ships, including Adriatic, Leander, and Sun, and damage to Royal George.
