Egrid (or Egfried) was launched at Shields in 1810. She was initially a London-based transport but then after the British East India Company in 1813 lost its monopoly on the trade between Britain and the East Indies started trading with India. Egfrid put into St Helena in September 1821 leaky and was condemned there and her cargo transshipped on another vessel.
Egfrid first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1810 as "Elfrid" with G. Taylor, master, and Templer, owner.[3] Lloyd's Register still carried the Elfrid name in 1811, but with unchanging data. It also carried the Egfrid.
