Grace was launched at Ipswich in 1811. She spent most of her career sailing to South America. However, she was returning to Britain from New South Wales in 1822 when a fire that started in her cargo destroyed her.
Grace entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1812 with Smith, master, changing to J. Kerr, and Bond & co., owner.[2] Later, the British East India Company licensed her to travel east of the Cape of Good Hope.[3]

Grace, Lethbridge, master, left Cowes on 20 April 1821 with merchandise and passengers. On 11 July she struck some rocks coming into port at Hobart, Van Diemen's Land, although she was under the control of a pilot. She could not be gotten off until she was lightened. She arrived in the Derwent on 10 August.[4] She was not holed and by 1 September she had completed her repairs and was again ready for the sea.[5]
