Trial was launched at Belfast in 1803. Apparently for most of her career she was initially an Irish coaster. A French privateer captured and burnt her in 1810 while she was returning to Ireland from Gibraltar.
Trial first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1804.[1]

The French privateer Juno captured Trial, Curran, master, at 49°26′N 8°12′W / 49.433°N 8.200°W as Trial was returning to Ireland from Gibraltar. Juno burnt Trial. Juno reportedly had also taken a brig from the Brazils to London, and Swallow, of Waterford.[2]
