The ships dimensions were 193.6 ft x 32.2ft x 20ft (59m x 9.8m x 6m) and the first owners were Joseph Heap & Sons, Liverpool. in 1856 she sailed to Calcutta. The main deck was replaced in 1888 and she was re-rigged as a barque in 1889 and sold again in Glasgow in 1892. She was finally abandoned in 1893 after she encountered a hurricane in the North Atlantic.
