Woodlark was launched at Moulmain in 1832. Circa 1835 she sailed to London and transferred to British registry. Between 1836 and 1844 she made two whaling voyages. In 1848 she transferred her ownership and registry to Sydney, from where she continued to sail for some time. She briefly appeared and was last listed as being in New Zealand in 1890–1891.
