Eddystone first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1802 with Featherstone, master and owner, and trade Hull–Baltic.

At the time, the North West company was challenging the HBC's monopoly on the fur trade at Hudson's Bay.

The North West Company sent an overland expedition to the southern end of the bay, and sent Eddyston to meet it there.

[3] The French frigates Sirène and Revanche captured Eddystone, Sarman, master, on 13 September 1806 as she was sailing from Quebec to London.

Thereafter, Eddystone and Prince of Wales were the main vessels supplying the HBC's posts in Hudson Bay.

[9] On 16 July 1821, Eddystone, Prince of Wales, and Lord Wellington were sailing in company to York Factory in Hudson Bay when they encountered HMS Fury and Hecla at 61°20′N 66°30′W / 61.333°N 66.500°W / 61.333; -66.500.

[10] In June 1836 Eddystone, Kearsley, master, grounded in the river at Newport, Wales, at the outset of a voyage to Savannah.
