She first appeared in the registers in 1809 in the Register of Shipping (RS) with Lawson, master, H.Debord, owner, and trade Shields coaster.[1]

A gale on 10 November 1810 drove Salamander, "of Blythe", and a number of other vessels onshore on the coast of Lincolnshire between Tetney and Theddlethorpe.[2] She underwent a thorough repair in 1811. She first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1812 with John Rose, master and owner, and trade Hull–Oporto.[3]

Salamander was lost on 25 August 1823 off "Kole", Sweden. Her crew were rescued. She was on a voyage from Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire to London. Her crew, most of her cargo, and her materials were saved.[4] Her entry in Lloyd's Register for 1824 carried the annotation "lost". LR gave the name of her master as Davidson, her owners as Frost & Co., and her trade as London coaster.[5]
