Coldstream was launched at Shields in 1788, probably under another name. She first appeared under the Coldstream name in Lloyd's Register in 1800; her earlier history is currently obscure. Between 1801 and 1805 she made two voyages to the southern whale fishery. A French privateer captured her in 1805 during the second.
Career
Coldstream entered Lloyd's Register in 1800 with J. Gilchrist, master, Mather & Co., owners, and trade London transport. [1] The next year her master became Andrews or Anderson, and her trade London– Cape of Good Hope.
On 7 June 1801 Coldstream, Anderson, master, sailed from Deal for the Cape of Good Hope (CGH). [2] On 21 June she sailed from Gravesend for the CGH. Lloyd's List reported on 5 January 1802 that she had arrived at the CGH. It then reported on 20 August 1802 that she arrived at the CGH from the South Seas. [3] From the CGH she sailed to St Helena and Cowes, and on 1 October she arrived at Gravesend. [4] Commerce was valued in 1802 at £6,600. [5]
On 16 December Coldstream, Dunn, master, remained at Deal, bound for the South Seas. [6] The next day Dunn sailed Coldstream on a whaling voyage to the Brazil Banks. Although she sailed for the Brazil Banks, by 1803 she was at the Galápagos Islands. Coldstream and Backhouse were well off the coast of " Chili" in July and August. [7] Coldstream, Backhouse, and Wilding were next reported "all well" at the "Gallipagos" by 4 October. [8]
In February 1805 Coldstream was rounding Cape Horn. [9]
Fate
Lloyd's List reported that the French privateer Bellone, had captured Coldstream, Dunn, master, in June 1805 in sight of St Helena. Coldstream's crew were landed there. [10] Dunn and his crew were in two boats and they arrived at St Helena on 24 June 1805. [11]
