Career

[edit]

She first appeared in the registers in 1809 in the Register of Shipping (RS) with Lawson, master, H.Debord, owner, and trade Shields coaster.[1]

A gale on 10 November 1810 drove Salamander, "of Blythe", and a number of other vessels onshore on the coast of Lincolnshire between Tetney and Theddlethorpe.[2] She underwent a thorough repair in 1811. She first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1812.[3]
