She was Liverpool-based and traded widely, especially with South America. She was in Valparaiso in 1820 when news of the discovery of the  South Shetland Islands and the sealing grounds there reached Valparaiso before it reached England. She sailed to the South Shetland Islands and gathered over 25,000 seal skins before returning to Liverpool. Thereafter, she returned to trading across the Atlantic. Her crew abandoned her in a waterlogged state on 17 August 1827. Career
