She emerges from the general background for two notable events in her history, one in 1813 when the French Navy captured and released her, and then between 1826 and 1830 for a whaling voyage.

[1] On 27 August 1807, Captain John Carman received a letter of marque for Lusitania.

[3] On 16 November 1809 the French brig Génie captured Lusitania, Carman, master, at 48°56′N 16°00′W / 48.933°N 16.000°W / 48.933; -16.000.

Four days earlier, Génie had captured the schooner HMS Haddock, which had been carrying dispatches from Jamaica.

[5] Génie also captured Fortune, of Bristol, Hare, master, which had been sailing from St Croix to London.

[4] On 27 November 1813 Lusitania and four other merchant vessels left Portsmouth in a convoy under escort by HMS Severn.

[7] The Register of Shipping (RS) for 1823 showed Lusitania with Langdon, master, Buckle, owner, and trade London-New South Wales.

[11] Also, on 10 October 1825 Lusitania, Biels, master, rescued the six crewmen of Three Brothers, which had foundered in the Mediterranean Sea at (37°48′N 25°00′E / 37.800°N 25.000°E / 37.800; 25.000).

Lloyd's List did report on 16 September 1834 that Lusitania, Brown, master, had stranded on Fastbro Reef (possibly Falsterborev).
