Elizabeth was launched at Hamburg in 1798. British owners purchased her in 1813 as a West Indiaman. She traded with the Mediterranean and elsewhere. She was at the Cape of Good Hope in November 1817 when a group of convicts and army deserters took possession of her. They ran her onshore a few days later, wrecking her.
Elizabeth first appeared in the supplementary pages of the 1812 volume of Lloyd's Register (LR). It showed her master as Langrick, her owner as H.Hooper, and her trade as London–Berbice. It also showed her origin as Denmark.[2] The 1813 volume amended her origin to Hamburg and her trade to Falmouth. It also reported that she had been almost rebuilt in 1801.[3]
