Career
editMajestic first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1801 with Nodding, master, E.Champion, owner, and trade London transport.[3]
In 1805 her master was Richardson and her trade was Whitby–Baltic. She had had damages repaired in 1803.[4]
LR for 1810 showed her master as J. Nodding, changing to Richardson, and her trade as London–Whitby. She had had a thorough repair as well.[2]
In 1810 Chapman reportedly sold Majestic to the government, and her registration was shifted to London.[1] However, LR continued to carry her to 1815 with Robinson as her master, Chapman as her owner, and her trade as London transport. She was no longer listed after 1815.
