On 26 September 1820, Vere, Allen, master, was arriving at Liverpool from Jamaica when she ran ashore on the bank near the Duke's Dock. She was got off the next day after she had discharged part of her cargo, and was brought into the dock.

On 25 October 1824, Vere, Robert Allen, master, imported merchandise with an invoice value of £2115 8s 4d to the port of Freetown, Sierra Leone.
