Caesar enters Lloyd's Register in 1800 with J. Bruce, master, R. Dale, owner, and trade London–Jamaica.[1] James Bunce acquired a letter of marque for Cæsar on 22 September 1800.[4] The size of her crew and the number of guns suggests that she may initially have been a privateer.
Captain John Fowler acquired a letter of marque for Caesar on 15 December 1803, and Captain James Shand acquired one on 27 January 1807.[6]
The Register of Shipping for 1810 shows Caesar's master as Shand, her owner as A. Henry, and her trade as London–Jamaica. The entry for her also carried the notation "LOST".[2]
Caesar was wrecked on 8 February 1810 off the South Foreland as she was returning to London from Jamaica.[7]
