She sailed from Liverpool on 27 February 1801 and gathered her slaves at Accra. She delivered them to Demerara in September. She had left Liverpool with 55 crew members and suffered nine crew deaths on her voyage. She was lost after having landed her slaves.[1] The Register of Shipping for 1804 carried the notation "lost" by her name.[3]
