On 21–22 July 1822 a tremendous gale drove Sun, Murray, master, ashore at the Cape of Good Hope.[2] She had been nearly loaded for London. A letter dated 10 August stated that the greater part of Sun's cargo had been saved, but that she had been condemned.[3] The next report was that it was expected that Sun would be gotten off the shore.[4] After being condemned, Sun was sold, gotten off, repaired, and fitted out. She was expected to sail to Bengal under the name George Ballard.[5] There is no further mention in online resources of George Ballard.

The same storm also resulted in the loss of other ships, including Adriatic, Leander, and Olive Branch, and damage to Royal George.
