Note: Initially in Lloyd's as Aberdeen built (1776, B219) before being American (1781, B171), then in 1784 (B219) American is crossed out and Scotland inserted! Also the date of build as 1752 is uncertain as is only added in 1784, with it earlier being blank except for a note of a general repair in 1774.
