Sydney Cove was built in 1803 at Rotterdam, Netherlands. She made two voyages to New South Wales, during the first of which she transported convicts, and during the second of which she went whaling.

Sydney Cove first appears in the supplemental pages to Lloyd's Register for 1806, which gives her owner as Plummer, her master as Edwards, and her trade as London-South Seas.[2] This information repeats for 1807, with the addition of armament.[1]

Under the command of William Edwards, she sailed from Falmouth, England on 11 January 1807, and arrived at Port Jackson on 18 June.[3] She carried four male and 113 female convicts, of whom three female convicts died on the voyage.[4] Sydney Cove left Port Jackson on 26 October bound for England.[5]

Under Captain M'Larin Sydney Cove arrived at Port Jackson again on 14 April 1808. When she left on 18 July 1809, her destination was given as "Fishery".[5]

Issues of Lloyd's Register from 1810 to 1814 show Sydney Cove, with M'Lauren, master, trading between London and New South Wales. However, the list of arrivals and departures from Port Jackson does not record any other arrivals and departures than the above two.

In 1815 Lloyd's Register shows Sydney Cove with a new owner, Morrison, and a new master, Hutchinson, changing to J. Morrison, and her trade was now London-Brazil. Between the change of masters she gave up her armament.[6]
