Lautaro was initially the British East Indiaman Windham,[6] built by Perry, Wells & Green at the Blackwall Shipyard for the East India Company (EIC) and launched in 1800.[7] She made seven voyages to India, Ceylon, and China for the EIC. In 1809–10, the French captured her twice, but the British also recaptured her twice. The Chilean Navy bought her in 1818 and she then served in the Chilean Navy, taking part in several actions during the liberation wars in Chile and Peru. From 1824 she was a training ship until she was sold in 1828.
