Suffolk was launched in 1795 at Newcastle. In 1800 she made one voyage for the British East India Company (EIC). She traded widely as different owners deployed her on one route or another.
Captain John Luke acquired a letter of marque on 22 November 1800.[1] Messrs. Princep and Saunders had tendered Nutwell, John Cristal, master, master, to the EIC to bring back rice from Bengal. She was one of 28 vessels that sailed on that mission between December 1800 and February 1801.[3] Suffolk sailed on 25 December 1800 and returned on 28 February 1802.[4]
Lloyd's List reported on 25 February 1825 that Suffolk, Allison, master, had been blown out of Madeira on 25 January and that she had not returned by the 28th.[5]
In 1836 new owners, Richard Wilson and George Foggo, shifted her registry to Whitby. She was broken up in December 1844.[2]
Note
Because Suffolk and Suffolk (1800 ship) both sailed to Bengal at the same time to bring back rice, and Suffolk (1803 ship) was launched in Bengal, the three vessels are sometimes conflated.[4]
