Speights Town was registered in 1784 by John Allanson of Liverpool, Thomas Barton of Liverpool, and William Barton of Barbados. Thomas and William Barton later bought out Allanson and assumed full ownership on 5 May 1792. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in the volume for 1786:

In March 1786 Lloyd's List reported that Speightstown, Jackson, master, and Susannah, Byrne, master, were transshipping to  the cargo of Africa, Ash, master, which had been condemned at Barbados. Richard Hall was appointed master on 15 November 1790. Captain Richard Hall acquired a letter of marque on 28 February 1793, essentially immediately after the outbreak of war with France. Lloyd's List reported in March 1793 that the letters of marque Speightstown and  had recaptured Camilla, Dunbar, master. A French privateer of 14 guns had captured Camilla as she was on her way from Salonica to London. Camilla came into Hoylake. William Rimmer was appointed master on 10 March 1793. On 20 February 1794 the Bartons sold Speights Town to John Christian Hartwig Garbers. Loss
