'''''John Palmer''''' was built at Calcutta in 1810. She made two voyages, the first under charter to the British [[East India Company]] (EIC). She wrecked with the loss of all hands in 1814 on the return leg of her second voyage.<br />
<br />
Captain Hugh Atkins Reid sailed from Calcutta for England on 21 December 1810 under charter to the EIC. ''John Palmer'' was at [[Sagar Island|Saugor]] on 12 March 1811 and Mauritius on 7 May. She reached [[Saint Helena]] on 20 July and arrived at [[The Downs (ship anchorage)|the Downs]] on 24 September.<ref name=BL>[http://searcharchives.bl.uk/IAMS_VU2:IAMS045-001115224 British Library: ''John Palmer''.]</ref> In England she underwent repairs and fitting out that cost [[£sd|£]]2417 1[[shilling|s]] 5[[pence|d]].{{Sfnp|House of Commons|1814|p=615}}<br />
<br />
On 8 July 1812 Reid sailed for Bengal and Bourbon Island [[Réunion]]. On 6 September ''John Palmer'' sailed from Madeira in a convoy under escort of {{HMS|Minden|1810|6}}. They were "all well" on the 20th at {{coord|12|N|25|W}}.<ref>''[[Lloyd's List]]'' [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015005721405?urlappend=%3Bseq=389 №4714.]</ref><br />

==Fate==<br />
''John Palmer'' was homeward bound from Bourbon with a cargo mostly of cotton and in company with other ships when she stopped at [[Saint Helena]]. There she took on some passengers before she left on 3 February, again in company with other ships. She parted from her companions on 18 February at the Azores. On 9 March 1814 she stranded at [[Ovar]], on the Portuguese coast.{{sfnp|Grocott|1997|pp=367-8}} She slipped off and sank with the loss of all hands.{{sfnp|Hackman|2001|pp=236 & 287}}<br />
