I suspect the ship ran into a Hurricane on it's way south. However, research shows that the last storm system came through on Oct. 22. Otherwise, this would be the storm as it followed a track that would have interfered with the ship. The second to last system came through Sept. 18-19, but is in the Gulf of Mexico.

1854 Atlantic Hurricane Season Map. 5 storms. I believe the longest storm is the fifth one and the short one in the Gulf of Mexico is the fourth storm.

Bucksville, South Carolina was a boat building community and harbor.  The Clipper, "Henrietta" was build there. Here is a little more about Bucksville's history as a shipping harbor. How did they become the port they are today? Leave it up to a Mainer!:
