[2] Lord Hawkesbury, Henry Delano, master, may have made an earlier seal hunting voyage to South Georgia.

[5] Lord Hawkesbury returned on 25 August 1789 with 34 tuns of sperm oil and reportedly "the first parcel of ambergris 'by any English whaler'".

[2] The Champions sold Lord Hawkesbury to Daniel Bennett, a leading shipowner of whalers sailing the Southern Whale Fishery.

5th whaling voyage (1792–1793): Captain William Wilkinson sailed from England on 8 September 1792, bound for the Atlantic and the west coast of Africa.

[8] The French pillaged Lord Hawkesbury and put a prize crew on board her consisting of an officer and 13 seamen.

The French were not paying attention and Morrow succeeded in running her aground at Zoetendal's Vlei (34°43′S 20°8′E / 34.717°S 20.133°E / -34.717; 20.133), east of Simon's Bay.
