She then became a West Indiaman and is last listed in 1807. Career. "Trojan" enters "Lloyd's Register" in 1796 under the name "Trajan", with E. Redman, master, S. Temple, owner, and trade London-Cape of Good Hope. EIC voyage (1796-1797): Edward Redman sailed from Portsmouth 12 April 1796, bound for the Cape. "Trojan" reached the Cape on 12 August and left on 1 October. She reached Saint Helena on  14 October and arrived at The Downs on 15 February 1797. On her return she became a West Indiaman. On 24 December 1802, "Lloyd's List" reported that "Trojan", Mann, master, from Newcastle to Jamaica, was on shore at Deal beach. It was feared that she would be lost. She apparently was not lost because she appears in subsequent volumes of "Lloyd's Register" with changed information. Citations and references. Citations References
