She remained in the Pacific Coast of South America until she was condemned there in 1820 as unseaworthy; she was last listed that same year.

She was a regular packet and made several voyages across the Atlantic between late 1802 and 16 May 1805 when the French privateer Hirondelle captured her at 47°20′N 12°20′W / 47.333°N 12.333°W / 47.333; -12.333 after an engagement that lasted two hours.

[3][a] A report in Lloyd's List stated that a Spanish privateer had captured her after an engagement of 2½ hours and taken her into Vicero, near Passages.

[6] Queen Charlotte came back into British hands and appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1807.

For instance, on 19 May 1806 the armed ship Caroline, Lieutenant Darby, sailed with Queen Charlotte to Greenock as an escort.

He went ashore and informed Governor Hugh Lyle Carmichael that an American privateer was cruising outside the harbour.

[9] Kirkness took on board a large body of troops and some volunteers from the local militia and sailed out.

On 17 March 1815 Captain William Kirkness sailed Queen Charlotte from Falmouth.

[8] Captain Thomas Beer sailed Queen Charlotte from Falmouth on 19 December 1816.

[11] Prior to 11 April 1820 the Plymouth whaler Queen Charlotte reportedly put into Valparaiso unseaworthy and it was expected that she would be condemned.

Between 1820 and 1821 there are a number of mentions in Lloyd's List of a Queen Charlotte, Mason, master, sailing along the Pacific coast of South America.

(Mentions of a Queen Charlotte, Moss, master, are of a vessel launched on the Thames that traded with Brazil and Argentina, but that apparently never sailed into the Pacific.)

On 16 September 1821 Qucen Charlotte [sic], Mason, master, sailed from Valparaiso for the Peruvian coast.
