Career

She first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1804 with Gladstale, master, Tindall, master, and trade London–Jamaica.[2]

Centurion, W.Meade, master, sailed from England in February 1818, bound for Bombay. She sailed under a license from the British East India Company.[3] Egfrid sailed for England from the Cape of Good Hope but had to put into St Helena on 22 August 1821, leaky. It was expected that she would be condemned and so her cargo was transshipped on Centurion, Mead, master.[4] Egfrid was surveyed and condemned as a constructive total loss on 28 September.[5] Centurion sailed from St Helena on 29 September and arrived at Deal on 4 December, with Egfrid's cargo.[6]

On 17 May 1825 Centurion, Bankier, master, was sailing from Quebec for Bristol when she sprang a leak and was beached on Goose Island, Nova Scotia. She returned to Quebec on 18 May. She then went to Munn's Cove to unload her cargo and undergo repairs.[7]
