Kingston was launched in 1806 and spent her career trading primarily between England and the West Indies, though also trading with Sicily, America, and India, and possibly Russia. Her crew abandoned her in 1819 when she developed a leak.
Career Kingston enters the Register of Shipping and Lloyd's Register with slightly inconsistent information. Discrepancies between the two registers appear several times, probably reflecting differences in the dates of the information and in publication, stale information, and possibly error.
