The Betsey was a privately owned schooner of 75 tons, which was wrecked in the South China Sea in 1805 while en route to the newly established penal colony of New South Wales Betsey departed the port of Macau on 10 November 1805, heading for the port of Sydney in New South Wales. her crew comprised two officers, Captain William Brooks and chief mate Edward Luttrell, and ten seaman including four from China, three from the Philippines and three from Portugal. At 2.30 AM on 21 November 1805 Betsey struck a reef. For three days the crew of twelve struggled to refloat the ship before abandoning the stricken vessel. Brooks, Luttrell and three Portuguese crew climbed into the jollyboat and the remaining crew abandoned the ship on a raft. The jollyboat and raft planned to travel together but a strong wind parted the two. The raft and its crew were never seen again. The jollyboat and its crew eventually made Balambangan Island off the North Coast of Borneo. Here they landed on 2 December. Eleven natives attacked them. Brooks had both legs cut off and he died. One of the Portuguese crew was severely wounded as he made his way back to the boat. He died in the boat.
