Harriet was launched at New York in 1810. She was captured and sold as a prize in 1813 to British owners. She was wrecked at Fanning's Island in late 1831 or early 1832.
Harriet first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1818 with S.Skelling, master and owner, and trade London–Demerara.[4]
On 23 May Harriet, Skelling, master, arrived at Barbados from London. On 23 July Harriet, Skilling, master, was off Dover, having come from Barbados; Skellin arrived at Gravesend that same day. In October Harriet sailed for Demerara.

The commander of HMS Zebra reported having seen Captain Buckle at Otaheite, Harriet having been lost at Fanning's Island. On 10 September Lloyd's List reported that Harriet, Buckle, master, had wrecked at "Fenning's Island". On 20 September the Nautical Magazine and Naval Chronicle of London reported that the British whaler Harriet, Buckle, master, had been wrecked at "Tanning's Island"; her crew had survived.
