Her most notable voyages were one transporting convicts to Van Diemen's Land and two for the British East India Company.

[6] On 10 October 1816 Lord Hungerford was proceeding down the Hooghly River from Calcutta to complete her loading at the New Anchorage (near Diamond Harbour and Kedgeree), for the journey back to England.

[7] Convict voyage to Van Diemen's Land (1821): Captain Michael O'Brien sailed from Gravesend on 22 June.

However, on 29 June at Deal Lord Hungerford and Caroline, Campbell, master, bound to New Brunswick, ran foul of each other.

[2] She had sailed from Deal some days before but on 29 June off Dover had run foul of Caroline, Campbell, master, which had had to return to the Downs.

Homeward bound, she crossed the Second Bar on 22 October, reached Saint Helena on 12 January 1828, and arrived back at the Downs on 10 March.

[14][a] On 12 February 1861 Lord Hungerford was at St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly when three apprentices from her refused to reboard, arguing that she was unsafe, and that there were irregularities in their articles of service.

When the apprentices refused nevertheless not to board Lord Hungerford, the constables declined to enforce the order, especially in the face of physical opposition by some local women, and a riot of sorts ensued.

[16] In March, in trials at St Mary's a seaman from Lord Hungerford received a sentence of 12 weeks hard labor for having assaulted Captain Cooper.
