Earl St Vincent was a French ship that was captured and became a British merchantman in 1803. Captain William Emery acquired a letter of marque on 10 June 1803. [2] In 1804 her master was W. Emery, her owner Dunsterville, and her trade Cork to the West Indies. [3]
A French privateer captured her in late 1803 as she was sailing from Cork to Barbados but the British Royal Navy recaptured her and took her into Dominica. [4] [5]
She then traded out of Cork. She was last listed in Lloyd's Register in 1814. [1]
