Trelawney Planter was built in 1801 in Jamaica as a West Indiaman. She survived a maritime incident in 1802 but fell prey to two privateers in 1808.

Career[]

Trelawney Planter first appeared in the 1801 volume of Lloyd's Register (LR).[1] She appears to have been a 20% larger successor to an earlier Trelawney Planter, also with M'Donald, master, and Sheddon, owner.

Fate[]

Lloyd's List reported in October 1808 that Trelawney Planter, Duncan, master, was sailing from London to Honduras when she encountered two privateers off the west end of Jamaica. After a smart action the privateers captured Trelawney Planter and took her into Cuba. Captain Duncan and part of his crew arrived in Honduras.[4]
