Atlas was a sailing ship built in Quebec by William Baldwin and launched in 1801 for W. Beateson & Company, London.

[4] She made her first voyage for the East India Company, sailing to New South Wales and China.

She reached Rio de Janeiro on 30 July, and Sydney Cove (Port Jackson), on 30 October.

Musgrave reportedly stated that 190 of the men he transported had been United Irishmen and political prisoners, not criminals.

[6] Lloyd's Register continued to report Musgrave as Atlas's captain and her trade as China until the issue for 1810, when she is no longer listed.
