The Barque Dampier was built in 1862 in Rijeka in the shipyard of the Schiavon brothers, located near today's Žabica. The ship was 33.80 m long, 8.44 m wide and 5.40 m high. The tonnage of the ship was 520 rt, but after a survey she had 431.28 grt and 399.47 nrt. The first co-owners of the ship were the Pošćić brothers and their father, and in 1866 Andrija Fran bought his father's share. After the Captain Karel Pošćić, who was on the ship until 1868, for five years the master was Captain Rajmund Bačić from Grobnik, for a short time Captain Leonard Stipanović from Kostrena, Sv. Lucija, and after him for a long time well-known and excellent captains Nikola Perčić from Volosko from 1874 to 1878, Kazimir Perčić from Volosko for four years, Luka Priskić from Lovran for seven years and Ivan Mandić from Oprić and Karlo Marić from Volosko. On her return from Tunisia in 1893, the barque Dampier suffered severe damage near Grujica in a collision with the English steamer Lamington and sank very quickly. Captain Marić's report submitted to the Port Authority in Rijeka states that the ship had sailed from Tunisia on 28 November and that on the thirteenth day she had been abeam of Premuda. At about 11:30 p.m., when he was approximately 1 mile away from Grujica and sailing at a speed of 3 knots to the north, he was overtaken by a steamer sailing on a course straight to the barque. The Dampier crew sent sound signals in vain; the steamer struck the barque and cut a hole in heron the port side between the rigging of the foremast. Seeing the ship sink, the crew of the Dampier, before the Lamington separated from the barque, jumped on her. The master of the Lamington tried to save the barque, and Captain Marić, three members of the Dampier crew and three members of Lamington headed towards her in the ship boat, but it was all in vain. Due to the strong flooding, towing the ship was impossible to perform because the Dampier had already begun to list. Having rescued only the ship's documents, seaman's books and a little property of the crew members, they had to return to the Lamington after which the barque sank. The last crew of the Dampier was composed of the Captain Karel Marić from Volosko, the officer Emil Gilliam from Rijeka, the bosun Luka Perović from Kostrena, Sv. Lucija, the helmsmen Josip Stuić from Senj, Stjepan Ukota from Senj, Anton Pilepić from Kostrena, Sv. Barbara and Rem Adamić from Rijeka, deck hands Anton Cvetan from Lovran and Ivan Kusijanović from Dubrovnik, the galley boy Fran Surjan from Lovran and Brsečsteward Josip Barković and the cook Ivan Dujmović.
