Security

Security was launched at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1824. She sailed to England and then traded with Australia and India. She was wrecked in December 1827. Career Security was initially registered at Halifax, Nova Scotia. Security, Stewart, master, arrived on 14 September 1824 at Gravesend, Kent from Halifax. She was re-registered at London on 25 January 1825. Security entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1824 with Stewart, master, and Spencer, owner. In 1813 the British East India Company (EIC) had lost its monopoly on the trade between Britain and points east of the Cape of Good Hope. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a license from the EIC. On 17 April 1825 Captain Andrew Ross sailed Security for Van Diemen's Land and Port Jackson. She arrived at Hobart Town on 1 September. On 5 September Ross was one of the captains that surveyed the ship and found her unseaworthy.
