Indus was launched in Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1817, or Newbury, Massachusetts in 1814. She first appeared in the British registries in 1823. Throughout her career she remained owned in the United States, and sailing under the United States flag. She may have briefly traded between Great Britain and Batavia, Dutch East Indies, sailing under a licence from the British East India Company. Thereafter, she sailed between Liverpool and New York. She was probably the Indus wrecked on 24 September 1829; she was last listed in 1833.
