I found a web-site http://www.davidbrown1801nsw.info (click on chapter 5) which give that she was an American brig of 158 ton and arrived at Sydney from India in June 1809 with a speculative cargo, not any builder, homeport of dimensions given. Only that the captain was an American Arnold Fiske.
She was bought by an Australian syndicate, but the booklet “Ships of Australia and New Zealand before 1850 by Ronald Parsons gives not any detail of her, so it looks that she was not registered in Australia.
In the web-site is given that she sailed regular between Sydney and Calcutta four times a year.
