The Register of Shipping (RS) for 1829 showed Swallow with Johns, master, Broderick, owner, and trade London–Fayal.[3]

Swallow was wrecked off Pico on 11 July 1829 with the loss of a crew member, her mate. She was on a voyage from Fayal to Plymouth, Devon.[4][5]

At the time one of her passengers was James Weddell, whose ship Jane had become leaky on a voyage from Buenos Aires to Gibraltar and been condemned at Fayal. Her cargo had been transferred to Swallow and was completely lost.
