Golden Grove was launched at Teighnmouth in 1786 as a West Indiaman, and apparently immediately sailed to the West Indies. She first entered Lloyd's Registry in 1793 with Tobagonian ownership. She then became a London-based West Indiaman. After 1810 she apparently started sailing between London and Dublin. In 1817 she grounded but was gotten off. She was lost c.1821.

They cleared the Gulf, but then between 21 and 23 August encountered a severe gale. Nine vessels foundered, but Golden Grove was among those "well" on the 25th.[2]
