Prince George first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in the 1806 volume with J.Bailey, master, Frier & Co., owner, changing to Rutherford & Co., and trade London–Jamaica.

[4] Between 27 and 29 December 1814, the French frigates Nymphe and Méduse captured a number of British merchant ships at 16°N 39°W / 16°N 39°W / 16; -39.

An article on navigation to Hudson Bay reports that Captain Grove sailed Prince George to York Factory.

Grove took his chronometer with him, suggesting that it was his personal property and not part of Prince George's equipment.

On 6 April 1842 Captain Daniel Friend sailed from England, bound for Montreal and Quebec.

Apparently each adult, on leaving Prince George, received a free passage to join their friends in nearby districts.
