Alexander was launched in 1800 at Hull, or actually further up the River Ouse at Selby, and probably under another name.

Alexander first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1807.

[1] Lloyd's List reported in August 1807 that Alexander, Atkins, master, had recaptured the sloop Albion, of Bermuda, and taken her into Jamaica.

Albion had been sailing from Havana to Savannah with a cargo of coffee when a French privateer had captured her.

[2] Alexander, Carpenter, master, was wrecked on 19 May 1820 in the Southern Four Keys (Lighthouse Reef).
