Onslow was launched at Onslow, Nova Scotia in 1817. She moved to England in 1818 and traded with Canada and the West Indies. She foundered on 30 July 1829.
Onslow was registered at Halifax, Nova Scotia, but then re-registered in New Brunswick on 9 October 1820. Even before then she had appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR). She first appeared in the volume for 1818.[2]
Owners did not necessarily keep Lloyd's Register up-to-date. Onslow also traded with Demerara. On 8 October 1822 Onslow, Paul, master put into Barbados. She had been sailing from Saint Andrews, New Brunswick to Demerara when she capsized on 29 September at 17°N54°W / 17°N 54°W / 17; -54. She had lost her masts, deck load, etc.[3]
