Diadem was a barque launched in 1800 at Whitby. Her owners sold her to the British government in 1818.^[1] The year 1818 may be a transcription error for 1808 as that is the last year for which Diadem is listed in either Lloyd's Register or the Register of Shipping.

Diadem enters the Register of Shipping in 1801 with J. Noddings, master, and trade Weymouth—Baltic. Although there was another Diadem at roughly the same time, she is the only one listed.^[2] Diadem appears in the Supplemental pages in Lloyd's Register with slightly different information: her master is J. Noddens, and her trade is that of a London-based transport.^[3]

Diadem is last listed in 1808. The information on burthen, master, and owner is unchanged from the 1801 entries. The Register of Shipping too now showed her as a London-based transport.^[4]^[5]
