At the time a number of ships were sailing from Whitby with immigrants to Canada. Crown sailed in 1828; Intrepid, Addison, Gulnare, Earl Stanhope, and Jackson sailed in 1830. [4] However, on Intrepid's first voyage to Canada she sailed in ballast, i.e., without cargo or passengers. She sailed from Whitby on 12 June 1830 and arrived at Quebec City on 8 August. [5] She cleared outward bound on 14 September.
On 21 January 1831 Thomas Robinson pleaded guilty to the charge of having a fire aboard his vessel. He was fined £3. [6]
In 1831 Intrepid sailed to Archangel. She returned with a cargo of wheat, oats, and mats. She also brought lumber, masts, spars, and oars, and ten tongues. [7]
Intrepid sailed from Hull on 25 March 1832 with passengers, possibly including labourers. She arrived at Quebec City on 5 May. She had not stopped, as she was supposed to, at the quarantine station at Grosse Isle. She was therefore ordered back to the quarantine ground as an example, to prevent others violating the law in the same manner. [8] She arrived back in Hull around 21 July with timber and wheat.
Intrepid again sailed from Hull on 16 August 1832. She arrived at Quebec City on 4 October with 19 settlers. [9]

In 1833 Intrepid sailed for India, sailing via Rio de Janeiro. On 11 October she was at Bengal (Calcutta). While Intrepid was in Calcutta, Robinson's eldest son, the 15-year old Thomas, Jr., died there. [10]
On 20 June 1834 Intrepid sailed from Gravesend, bound for Ceylon.
A gale drove Intrepid ashore on 29 November 1834 at Colombo, wrecking her. Her crew were rescued. She was outward bound for London. [11]

Between 1829 and 1847 she made numerous voyages between Scotland and Canada carrying cargoes, but also some immigrants. Currently, she last appears in records in 1847.
Lotus was a ship launched at Whitby, England in 1826. She made several voyages to Australia carrying emigrants. She made one voyage transporting convicts to Van Diemen's Land. On that voyage, in 1833, she rescued 61 survivors from Hibernia, which a fire had destroyed in the South Atlantic as Hibenia was carrying immigrants to Van Diemen's Land. Lotus herself was lost in May 1844 while sailing between Bristol and Quebec.

She first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1830; in 1831 her trade was London-India. Spontaneous combustion that occurred in the cargo resulted in her destruction in 1834 in the Indian Ocean about 1,000 nautical miles from Rodrigues Island at 10°S77°E.
Camden was built at Whitby in 1813. She served as a general trader for much of her career, though in 1820-21 she made one voyage to Bombay for the British East India Company (EIC).

She made one notable voyage in 1820 to Australia, notable because her captain later published a detailed account with extensive economic, commercial, and other observational information about the Cape of Good Hope, Hobart Town, Port Jackson, and Rio de Janeiro. She later became a West Indiaman and was wrecked in 1828.

Between 1831 and 1837 she made one voyage as a whaler, catching whales off Japan, and New Zealand. She then returned to trading with the West Indies. Her crew abandoned her at sea in September 1843.
Dowson was launched in Hull in 1807 as a West Indiaman. She quickly became a transport and then made one voyage to New South Wales. Later she traded with North America. She underwent two maritime mishaps that she survived, one in 1807 and one in 1821. Her crew abandoned her in the Atlantic Ocean on 19 October 1836.
Cyrus was launched in 1811 in Whitby. She spent her early career as a transport. Then after the war she made one or more voyages to Bengal and Ceylon under a license from the British East India Company. After her return she traded between Great Britain and North America.

Cornwall was launched in Whitby in 1798 or 1799 as a West Indiaman. Between 1817 and 1819 she made two voyages to Bengal, sailing under a licence from the British East India Company (EIC).
