Honduras Packet was launched in Spain in 1798 under another name and was renamed when the British captured her in 1802. She was a merchantman that between 1804 and 1809 made one, two, or three voyages seal hunting or whaling in the Southern Fishery. She was also the first vessel to transport Scottish emigrants to Honduras in 1822-23 under Gregor MacGregor's ill-conceived and ill-fated "Poyais scheme". She was last listed in 1828-30. CareerHonduras Packet entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1801 with J. Goodwin, master, Collingdon, owner, and trade London–Madeira. She was surveyed on 24 January.[1]She initially sailed between London and Madeira and London and Spain. Between 1804 and 1809 Honduras Packet made one, two,[2] or three voyages as a sealer or whaler.{{sfnp|Clayton|2014|p=141}} The three voyages would have been in 1804-1805 with J. Nichols, master, and C. Hurry and Co., owner, 1805-1806 with Owen Bunker, master, and William Edwards, owner, and 1806-1808 with J. Todrig, master and T. Todrig & Co., owner.{{sfnp|Clayton|2014|p=141}}
It is not clear that this was in fact a whaling voyage. Lloyd's Register for 1808 showed Honduras Packet with trade London–Rio de Janeiro. In October 1808 the packet Honduras rescued the crew of {{HMS|Volador|1807|6}}, which had wrecked in the Gulf of Cora. The Register of Shipping for 1809 showed Honduras Packet with F. Todrig, master, F&J Todrig, owners, and trade London–{{not a typo|Brazils}}. The supplemental pages in the issue showed her with Taylor, master, Smith & Co., owners, and trade London–Jamaica.[5] Lloyd's Register for 1809 again showed Honduras Packet with Todrig, master and owner, and trade London–South Seas. Lloyd's Register continued to carry stale data for some time. The Register of Shipping showed that she became a West Indiaman, sailing to Jamaica, and later a general trader sailing to the Mediterranean.
At this point the Register of Shipping carried stale data and Lloyd's Register was more up-to-date.
Poyais: Honduras Packet sailed from London on 10 September 1822 with 70 emigrants bound for Poyais. They arrived at Black River, Honduras, in November, only to discover there was no settlement there and conditions were very different than they had been led to expect. Before they could unload all their stores, a storm came up and Honduras Packet sailed off, not to return. A second emigrant ship, {{ship||Kennersley Castle|1811 ship|2}}, arrived in March 1823, having left Leith with some 200 emigrants in October 1822. With the coming of the rainy season insects infested the camp, diseases such as malaria and yellow fever took hold, and the emigrants sank into utter despair. Eventually, the schooner Mexican Eagle, from British Honduras, discovered the settlers in early May, and took them to Belize in three trips. Eventually, of the roughly 250 who had sailed on Honduras Packet and Kennersley Castle, at least 180 perished. {{see also|List of ships of the Poyais scheme}}FateHonduras Packet{{'}}s subsequent history is obscure as Lloyd's Register carried stale data to 1828. The Register of Shipping carried it to 1830.
