Although LR reported that Cossack intended to sail to the South Seas, i.e., the Southern Whale Fishery, the Register of Shipping was more accurate when it reported that Cossack was sailing to the Caribbean.

Cossack arrived at St Thomas from Liverpool on 19 December 1813. She reached Cap-Henry, Santo Domingo on 10 February 1814. On 24 March she arrived at Jamaica from Cape Henry and on 14 April sailed from Jamaica for Cork. On 6 July she sailed from Cork for London, having come from St. Domingo. On 14 October Cossack arrived at Gravesend from St. Domingo.

In June 1820 Lloyd's List reported that Cossack, Walker, master, had struck on Alcide Rock, near Bic Island. She was on a voyage from Liverpool to Montreal but had to discharge her cargo at Quebec as she had sustained damage.[2] She arrived at Quebec on 20 May.

There was a report that on 15 January 1821 Cossack, Walker, master, had arrived at Madeira and had sailed the next day for Bombay. Another report had her arriving at Barbados, from Cork on 7 February. On 15 June Cossack arrived at Dublin from Trinidad.

Fate

A report from Milford, dated 4 December 1823, stated that Cossack, Walker, master, with a cargo of lumber, had run ashore at Newgate Sands. She was on a voyage from Miramichi Bay to Dublin. Her crew was saved. She was a complete wreck but it was hoped that her materials and cargo could be saved if the weather was moderate.[3]
