Harriet entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1836 with J. Somes, owner, and homeport of London.

[1] Between 1836 and 1840, LR continued to carry Harriet, but without any name for her master or any reference to her trade.

Harriet, Apsey (or Absey), master, sailed from Great Britain on 16 September 1836, bound for the waters off New Zealand.

[b] Loss: On 19 April 1842 Harriet, Beach, master, was almost finished loading at Calcutta, India, for her return voyage to Great Britain when at about 1p.m.

The fire spread so rapidly Beach, his officers, and crew, had to jump overboard to save themselves.
