Albuera appeared in the Register of Shipping in 1827 with Bothwic, master, Amesley & Co., owners, and trade London–Trieste.

On 28 February 1826 the "new brig Albuera of Aberdeen", Captain Borthwick, struck the point of Annet Sand while coming in to Montrose during a gale.

At the time Albuera was actually a prize to the Argentine privateer General San Martin, under the command of Captain [Samuel] Adams.

Borthwick entered a protest in the Consular Register of the British Consulate in Buenos Aires on 2 March 1829.
