The prime contractor for the vessel was Goodrich & Co., in Bermuda, and she was launched in 1804.〔Winfield (2008), p.359.〕 She spent most of her career in North American waters though she did spend two years sailing between Britain and Spain before returning to North America where she foundered in 1813. ==Service== She was commissioned under Lieutenant Isaac Morrison for the Leeward Islands or Newfoundland, and in fact served on the Newfoundland Station. In 1804 she was temporarily under Lieutenant John G. M'B. McKillop. He would write the following letter:〔() ''Ships of Bermuda''〕 His Maj.
