Eliza Stewart was so damaged that she had to discharge her cargo of sugar for Shanghae to effect repairs.

She left Calcutta prior to 5 February 1851 with 159 men, 12 women, and seven children and infants, for a total of 178 persons.

[10] Eliza Steward arrived at Trinidad again on 30 April 1852 with 183 immigrants, three having died on the voyage.
