Mariner was launched at Philadelphia in 1809. The British seized her for trading with the French and she became a British merchantman. She was wrecked in July 1823.
Mariner was condemned in Prize Court on 4 February 1810, for trading with the French.[1]
Mariner first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1811, with Rd. Yeo, master, Alder & Co., owners, and trade Plymouth.[2] The next year her master changed to W. Rutter, and her trade was listed as "London transport". In 1816, her owner was Birdwood & Co.
LR for 1820, showed Mariner with J.Collett, master, Boson & Co., owner, and trade Plymouth–Leghorn, changing to London–Jamaica. She had undergone a large repair in 1815.[3]
