The Lautaro was initially the British East Indiaman Windham, of 850 tons, built in Perry, Wells & Green shipyards for the East India Company (EIC) and launched in 1800. She made six voyages to India 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. From 1824 she was a training ship before she was broken up in 1828.
