She was listed as being registered at Calcutta in 1819 with W. Eastgate, master, and Palmer & Co., owners.[3] Lloyd's Register (LR) for 1822 showed her with Eastgate, master, Paxton & Co., owners, and trade London–Calcutta.[4]

On 14 June 1822, Fame, Clark, master, wrecked at Sea Point, Table Bay, on passage from Calcutta and Madras for London.[1] Four passengers, four seamen, and some invalided soldiers drowned.[5]
