Catharine first appeared in the registers in 1809 as American-built and having undergone repairs in that year. In 1811 she became a whaler and sailed to the Pacific where the United States Navy captured her. Her captors sailed her to Valparaiso to sell her but when they were unable to do so they took her out to sea and burned her in February 1814.

Capture and loss

While nearing James Island in the afternoon on May 28, lookouts aboard USS Georgiana sighted a mast and sails on the horizon. In fact the sails belonged to two brigs, Catharine,^[3] and {{ship||Rose|1806 ship|2}}.^[4] When the Americans were within range they lowered a few boats filled with men and captured the two sloops without resistance. Then the Americans spotted and captured a third vessel {{ship||Hector|1809 ship|2}}.^[5] The Americans disarmed Rose and put the bulk of their prisoners aboard her, sending her to Saint Helena as a cartel

{{see also|List of British whalers captured in the Pacific by the vessels of Captain David Porter, USN (1813)}}.Lloyd's List reported that the American sent Hector and Catharine to Tombus. It further reported that although Rose had been sent for England, she proved leaky and had to put into Lima.^[6]

Actually, Georgiana took Catharine and Hector to rendezvous with Captain Porter and the {{USS|Essex|1799|6}} there. Porter sent {{ship||Essex Junior}} to Valparaiso with the prizes {{ship||Hector|1809 ship|2}}, Catharine, {{ship||Policy|1801 ship|2}}, and {{ship||Montezuma|1804 ship|2}}, and the American ship Barclay, with the instructions to leave Barclay there and to sell the prizes.^[7] The Americans were unable to sell Hector, Catharine, or Montezuma.

In early 1814 Porter arrived at Valparaiso. He towed Hector and Catharine out to sea and burned them,^[8] probably on 14 February.^[9] The Spanish seized Montezuma and sold her. At the time of her capture Catharine had held 450 casks of oil.^[10] The Americans put the oil from Hector, Catharine, and Montezuma aboard Policy and sent her to the United States. However, the Royal Navy recaptured Policy before she could reach an American port.
