Maria was launched in 1798 at Gainsborough, upstream from Hull. She spent the first half of her career or so as a West Indiaman. She then made two voyages to Australia transporting convicts. On the first of these voyages she transported women convicts to Port Jackson; on the second she transported men to Hobart. On her second voyage she returned via Bombay. She is last listed in 1833.
