Etingdon was launched in 1798 as a Jamaicaman (West Indiaman). She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1799 under the name Elingdon with T. Wilson, master, Hayman, owner, and trade London–Jamaica.[1]
Between 17 December 1806 and 10 June 1807 Captain J. Haman sailed Etingdon to the Cape of Good Hope.[2] She was carrying stores for the British government. Lloyd's Register for 1809 showed Etingdon with J. Hyman, master, changing to Kennedy, Hayman, owner, and trade London–Cape of Good Hope.[3]
On 27 January 1809, Etingdon, Kennedy, master, sailed from Jamaica for London, in company with a number of other merchantmen.[4]
On 21 March 1810 Etingdon foundered off Havana, Cuba. Her crew were rescued. She was on a voyage from Jamaica to London.[5]
