}} | Amelia Wilson was built in France under another name and captured by the British in 1809. Her new owners renamed her and she became a West Indiaman. She later became a whaler and was wrecked in 1833 on her fifth whaling voyage. CareerThe prize court condemned the French vessel on 21 April 1809. She then first appears in Lloyd's Register in 1810. Her owner was Wilson & Co., suggesting that her name represents a relative of the owner. She underwent repairs in that year. She then traded with the West Indies. She underwent a good repair in 1813 from which she emerged with an increased burthen. | Year | Master | Owner | Trade |
