Woodman was launched in Newcastle in 1804. She sailed as a coaster. A French privateer captured her in 1811, but the Royal Navy recaptured her immediately. She was last listed in the Register of Shipping (RS), in 1815 but may have been lost a year or two before.
Woodman first appeared in the RS in 1805.[1]

On 19 August 1811 a French privateer captured Woodman, Wanless, master, off Dover, as Woodman was sailing from Newcastle to Southampton. HMS Echo recaptured her shortly thereafter. Woodman arrived at Ramsgate on 20 August.[2] HMS Naiad was in company with Echo and so shared in the salvage money for Woodman.[3]
