Aberdeen was launched at Aberdeen in 1801. She spent much of her career as a West Indiaman, though she made voyages elsewhere, and was for a time a London-based transport. Her crew abandoned her at sea in December 1815.

## Career

[edit]

Aberdeen first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1801 with Gibbon, master and owner, and trade Liverpool-St Kitts.[3] In 1805 her trade was Liverpool-Jamaica.

On 21 April 1807 Lloyd's List (LL) reported that Aberdeen, Fraser, master, had been put into Port Antonio on 28 January because she was leaky. She had to unload to make repairs.[4] She arrived at Gravesend on 19 July.
