Captain Charles King sailed from Liverpool on 7 March 1799.[1] King had been a surgeon on slave voyages between 1785 and 1799, but this was his first voyage as a master.[3] Lord Duncan stopped at Sierra Leone, but she arrived at Kingston, Jamaica on 2 February 1800 with 127 slaves acquired at the Congo River.[1] Before reaching Kingston she had stopped at Martinique. She had left Liverpool with 23 crew members and had suffered three crew deaths on her voyage.[1]

Although the registers carried Lord Duncan for some more years with unchanged data, her owners had sold her in the Americas after she had delivered her slaves.[1]
