Loss: On 19 April 1842 Harriet, Beach, master, was almost finished loading at Calcutta, India, for her return voyage to Great Britain when at about 1p.m. she caught fire. She was carrying general cargo and saltpeter. The fire spread so rapidly Beach, his officers, and crew, had to jump overboard to save themselves. Her entry in LR for 1842 carries the annotation "burnt".
