Lord Wellington was launched in 1811 in Quebec and in 1812 changed her registry to London. She spent most of her career sailing between Great Britain and North America, though she spent her last few years as a coastal collier. In 1832, during the 1832 cholera outbreak in Ireland, she was the site of an outbreak of cholera that killed several passengers and crew. She was last listed in 1844.
