The Cumberland Pacquet and Ware's Whitehaven Advertiser, Tuesday, 1st March 1825;

" On Saturday week a very handsome copper-bottomed vessel, of 298 tons register, was launched into the Ulverston Canal from the building-yard of Messrs.Petty & Co., called the Hutchinson, and intended for the West India trade. She left the stocks in very grand style, amidst the applauding shouts of a greater concourse of people than were ever assembled on any similar occasion at that port."

The Hutchinson was a barque, built at Ulverston by George Shaw Petty & Co. and first registered at Lancaster on the 22nd February 1825. Her registration was transferred to Liverpool in 1830 and in 1840 she was owned at Bristol, and operating in the trade to Africa. She was condemned in the following year.
