Two more earlier ships of Thomas Goodsir, great thanks to Scarborough Marine Heritage.
I think there was another one also before 1817, as son David was born at sea in May 1816 and I doubt, since that event happened in North Atlantic, that Mary ANN his mother would have been happy to set sail for the Americas on a little sloop, in the circumstances.
