In 1847 her crew abandoned her in the Bay of Biscay although she seemed to have sustained little damage; she was salvaged and returned to service.

In 1819 Lady Kennaway appeared in the Registry of Calcutta with John Mee, master, and Kyd & Co., owners.

On 17 June 1825 Lady Kennaway, Surflen, master, sailed for Bombay with the 2nd, or Queen's Regiment.

On 24 November HMS Dolphin, commander lieutenant the Honourable R.F.Boyle, which was on her way to the coast of Africa, arrived and put a midshipman and seven men aboard Lady Kennaway as well.

Surveyors found that Lady Kennaway had sustained little damage and had little water in her hold, raising questions as to why Avery and his 35 man crew had abandoned her.
