The Salem East Indiaman Friendship was launched in 1797.

She made 15 voyages during her career to Batavia, India, China, South America, the Caribbean, England, Germany, the Mediterranean, and Russia. She ended her activities as an American merchant vessel when she was captured as a prize of war by the British HMS Rosamond in September 1812.
