Harriet was launched at Pictou, Nova Scotia, in 1798. She was the first large ship built in Nova Scotia and was sold in London.[3] She traded widely from London, primarily to North America. She foundered on 3 November 1818.
Harriet first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) and as Harriot in the Register of Shipping (RS), both in 1800. The entry in LR gave her origin as New Brunswick (corrected in later volumes to Nova Scotia);[4] RS gave her origin as Nova Scotia.[5] Harriot, Hurry, master, arrived at Liverpool from Pictou in September 1800.
Captain Francis J. Hurry acquired a letter of marque on 10 October 1800.[2]
