The Cadboro, also spelled Cadborough, was a 17 m long, 5 m wide schooner built in 1826 and purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company; it arrived on the Pacific Coast on April 24th, 1827.1

From 1846-47 it carried the crew of the wrecked Shark to California. Cadboro was wrecked in 1860 on its way out of Puget Sound.2

The Cadboro is mentioned several times in the correspondence collection.
