HMS North Star was a ship launched in 1810 and spent much of her naval career on the Jamaica Station.

[2] Lloyd's List (LL) reported on 27 September 1811 that North Star had detained the Spanish ship Viscount Wellington, Wickes, master.

Viscount Wellington had been sailing from Amelia Island to Deptford and North Star set her into Rasgate.

The American privateer Saucy Jack had captured the sloops, which North Star sent into Montego Bay, where they arrived on 30 November.

[2] Disposal: The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "North Star sloop, of 433 tons", lying at Deptford, for sale on 30 January 1817.

[12] Columbo underwent a thorough repair in 1817 and first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1818 with T. Webb, master, Joad & Co., owner, and trade London−Bombay.

[13] Lloyd's Register for 1819 showed Columbo's master changing from T. Webb to Richardson, and her trade from London−Bombay to London transport.
