Bheemoolah (or Beemolah) was launched in 1808 at Calcutta as a "country ship", that is a vessel based in India that traded in the region and with China.

She made two voyages to England for the British East India Company (EIC), one before her name changed to Woodbridge in 1812, and one after.

Beemoolah, Edward Brightman, owner, appeared on a lit of vessels registered at Calcutta in January 1811.

[9] On 25 March the USS Adams captured Woodbridge but had to give her up when the weather cleared and British warships were observed approaching.

[9] On 8 December 1815 Lloyd's List reported that Woodbridge, Smith, master, which had come from Batavia, was adrift off Margate having lost all but her foremast.

[12] Four days later it reported that she had been driven aground on the Main in Popes Bay, about five miles from Margate.

[13] On 7 January 1817 Lloyd's List reported that Woodbridge had been driven ashore in October at the Cape of Good Hope.

[16] On 13 January 1823 Woodbridge came into Terceira Island because she was taking on water at a rate of 3.5 feet per hour.

She sailed via the Cape of Good Hope and arrived at Sydney, New South Wales, on 26 February 1840.

[22] Then on 3 September 1843 Captain Dobson again sailed with convicts from London, however this time they were bound for Van Diemen's Land.
