Thereafter she was contracted to Murdoch Mackenzie, a civilian surveyor, for work in Plymouth harbour.^[1] After 16 years service she was put up for auction at Plymouth Dockyard on 10 December 1765, along with her contents described as a sundry collection of papers, cables, rigging, hammocks and other "old junk."^[3] The sale was completed on 16 December 1765.^[1]
