Latona was launched in 1786 at Newcastle upon Tyne. She spent her entire career as a merchantman. In 1800 a privateer captured her, but a British privateer recaptured her quickly. She foundered in 1835.

Career

Latona entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1787 with John Hall, master, and W. Lashly, owner, and trade London–Petersburg.[3]

On 22 August 1800, Lloyd's List reported that the British privateer Earl Spencer had recaptured Latona, which a French privateer had captured as Latona was sailing from Memel to Lisbon. Earl Spencer sent Latona into Oporto.[4][a]
