built at Quebec

A letter dated 2 March 1804 reported that City of Edinburgh's Quebec registration had been cancelled.

She sailed to England and from 1804 to 1820 was a West Indiaman and trader.

City of Edinburgh first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1804 with Postgate, master, Brickwood, owner, and trade London–Quebec. In England she became a West Indiaman. She had some damages repaired in 1805, and by 1806 her trade was London-Antigua. Lloyd's List had reported on 8 February 1805 that City of Edinburgh, Moreton, master, had been onshore near Margate and had received much damage. She had been on a voyage from London to Antigua.

On 16 October 1820 City of Edinburgh was sailing from St. John, New Brunswick, British North America to London when she parted from her anchors at the Isles of Scilly and ran onshore at the Point of the Crow Bar. She filled with water but her cargo and sails were landed. She was refloated on 19 October and taken in to St Mary's Pier for repairs to her considerable damage. On 10 April 1821 she was seaworthy again and was to proceed to Falmouth under escort by two pilot boats. On 17 April she was sighted off Falmouth under tow by two pilot boats. She arrived the next day under jury masts.

Fate
City of Edinburgh (1803) was last listed in Lloyd's Register in 1821 and in the Register of Shipping in 1822. More tellingly, she does not again appear in the Lloyd's List SAD data after her arrival in 1821 at Falmouth in a crippled state.

City of Edinburgh (1807) has never been listed, so far ...
