East Indian was launched at Calcutta in 1815. She remained a country ship, that is, a British vessel trading east of the Cape of Good Hope, until 1819. In 1819 she apparently sailed to England and may briefly have assumed British registry. By 1824 she had returned to Calcutta registry. She was wrecked in 1826 near Saugor.
A list of vessels registered at Calcutta in 1819 showed East Indian with H. Hogg, master, and Hogue & Co. owner.[4] The Register of Shipping (RS) for (1820) showed East Indian with H. Hogg, master, Hogue & Co. owners, and trade London-Cape of Good Hope.[5]
A list of vessels registered at Calcutta in 1824 shows East Indian with Peter Roy, master, and Davidson & Co., owners.[6]
