Alfred was launched at Chittagong in 1818 and in 1820 her owners transferred her registry to Great Britain. She then traded around India and between Britain and India under a license from the EIC. Between 1827 and 1828 made a voyage to China for the British East India Company (EIC) as an "extra ship", i.e., under charter. In 1845 she was condemned but new owners restored her and named her Deutschland. She was last listed in 1857.
