A shipment of merchandise from Sestri Ponente to Naples, with several other legs to load and unload cargo before returning to Livorno and Genoa. The voyage began on 1 May 1718 with a departure from Liguria carrying mixed merchandise for Naples, where the goods were unloaded in early June. The vessel continued to Messina with a cargo of paper, earthenware, and firewood, before returning to Naples and securing a contract with Neapolitan merchants Niccolò Volo and Giulio Campanile to carry a cargo of sea salt from Trapani to Gioia Tauro. After loading the salt at Trapani in early July, the vessel discharged part of the cargo at Gioia and another 300 units at Nicotera later that month. The ship then anchored at Tropea for nine days while the patron unsuccessfully pursued unpaid debts from a certain Domenico Giordano in Vibo Valentina. Following this delay, the vessel sailed to Palermo, arriving around 6–9 August, and departed near the end of the month for Marsala where, around 29–30 August, the patron loaded 156 "salme" of salt. To avoid Spanish corsairs, the ship diverted to Naples, arriving around 1–2 September, where it remained several days while the patron sought resolution for the earlier unpaid debts. On 6 September, the vessel departed Naples and reached Tropea around 7 September, where the patron negotiated with the aforementioned Domenico Giordano to forfeit 60 piastres and redirect the salt to Bivona. The vessel remained anchored in Tropea until departing around 30 September and arrived in Bivona in the early days of October, discharging the cargo over two days. On 25 October, while still in Bivona, the vessel was struck by a violent storm with strong west/south-west winds, which drove it ashore and completely wrecked it. The crew survived, but the vessel was lost, and only part of the ship’s gear was salvaged, including masts, sails, rigging, artillery, anchors, and other equipment. These materials were either seized and sold by the authorities in Vibo Valentina or taken into custody by the Genoese consul in Naples, who refused to return them or pay the patron any proceeds for their sale.
