Admiral Kingsmill appears in Lloyd's Register for 1797 as a British clinker-built and Cork-based privateer. The entry shows her master as Thornton. She had undergone repairs in 1796 and was armed with ten 6-pounder guns.^[1] Captain Eleazer Thornton acquired a letter of marque for Admiral Kingsmill on 19 December 1796.^[2] Lloyd's Register for 1798 describes her as a tin-sheathed brig. It gives her burthen as 160 tons and her trade as Liverpool-Africa, indicating that she was probably a slave ship.

A database of slave-trading voyages shows her master as Hugh Kessick, and her owners as James Penny, James Penny, Jr., Moses Benson, and John Backhouse. She left Liverpool on 8 June 1797 and gathered her slaves from West Central Africa. Admiral Kingsmill delivered them to Martinique on 20 March 1798. She embarked 283 slaves and disembarked 263, for a loss rate of 7.1%.^[3]

Admiral Kingsmill is last listed in Lloyd's Register and the Register of Shipping in 1800.
