In an apparently short and uneventful career, she made five voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) before she was broken up in 1823.

On 12 July 1809, Messrs. Anderson and Swan, sole owners of Lady Carrington, offered her services to the EIC.

Anderson and Swan proposed to send her from the Cape to Bengal to bring back cargo for the EIC at a rate of £16 6s per ton.

Lady Carrington reached the Cape of Good Hope on 17 January 1810 and arrived at Calutta on 28 March.

Lady Carrington reached Bombay on 11 Jul, Madras on 24 August, and Balasore on 20 September; she arrived at Calcutta on 26 October.
