Lloyd's Register for 1813 shows Vittoria, of Hull, with Woodhouse, master, Smith, owner, and trade Hull—London.

Under the command of John Smith, with the surgeon James Dickson, Vittoria sailed from Devonport, England on 1 September 1828, and arrived at Port Jackson on 17 January 1829[1] Vittoria embarked 160 male convicts and had nine deaths en route.

On her way from Manila to London she had an encounter in which Malays had killed her master, second mate, boatswain, carpenter, and part of the crew.

After they had killed the captain, second mate, boatswain, and a woman, and wounded several crew members, they took command of the vessel.

Vittoria was heavily laden and to lighten her the mutineers had jettisoned part of the cargo and the deckraft.

[7] In December 1831 it was reported that Vittoria, Foster, master, was dismasted on her way back from Miramichi to Cowes and that 10 crew members had bees swept overboard.
