A gale on 10 November 1810 drove Salamander, "of Blythe", and a number of other vessels onshore on the coast of Lincolnshire between Tetney and Theddlethorpe.[2] She underwent a thorough repair in 1811. She first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1812 with John Rose, master and owner, and trade Hull–Oporto.[3]

Her crew, most of her cargo, and her materials were saved.[4] Her entry in Lloyd's Register for 1824 carried the annotation "lost".
