Lloyd's Register for 1802 showed Juno with Blackburn as master and owner, and trade London–Grenada. It also showed her master as changing to RIchardson and her trade to London-Southern Fishery.[1]
Captain Richardson sailed from London on 13 July 1802, bound for the Pacific. Juno was reported to have been in the Pacific in November 1803, at the Galapagos Islands in January 1804, and off the coast of Peru in April. She returned to London on 21 March 1805.[2]
Juno appears to have participated as a victualer in the British invasion of the Dutch Cape Colony (1805-1806). After the invasion, the victualer Juno, of 239 tons (bm), sailed on 11 March 1796 to Plettenberg Bay to load with timber.
Fate
Lloyd's Register and the Register of Shipping continued to carry Juno with Richardson, master, Blackburn, owner, and trade London–Southern Fishery, until 1809.
