After his exploration with Flinders, Bass left the Navy to become a South Pacific trader, and on 5 February 1803, he sailed the ship 'Harrington' out of Sydney Harbour with a cargo, bound for Tahiti. Bass was never heard of again, and his fate remains unknown. George Bass is believed to have died at sea in 1803.
