She sailed on several whaling voyages out of New London. Whaling master James M. Buddington of Groton commanded the George Henry on an 1855-1856 voyage (with his son James W. serving as cabin boy), during which the abandoned British ship Resolute was recovered from the Arctic ice. Resolute had been part of an effort to search for members of the Franklin Expedition. Buddington's nephew Sidney O. Budington was master of the George Henry for the 1860-1862 Arctic expedition of Charles Francis Hall. Hall was also seeking to find the Franklin party. George Henry was lost in Hudson Bay, 1863.
