She was delivered to Donald & Currie & Co. for the Liverpool to Calcutta service and transferred to the London to Calcutta service in 1865. In 1883 she was sold to Charles Barrie & Co. of Dundee, renamed Glasgow and reduced to a barque rig.

On 25th December 1893 she was dismasted and abandoned off the Scilly Isles during a voyage from Carrizal in Chile to Middlesbrough.
