One list of "Licensed Ships" shows Barton sailing from Southampton to Bombay in 1818.[4] A list in Lloyd's Register shows Barton, T. Forest, master, sailing on 18 August 1818 to Bombay.[5]
The Register of Shipping for 1824 showed Barton, J. Bacon, master, Barkworth, owner, and trade Hull-Petersburg, Russia.[6]
Fate
Barton, Bacon, master, was wrecked on 9 September 1823 on the west coast of Jutland while she was on a voyage from to Hull to Petersburg. Her crew were rescued.[7]
