Marian (or Marianne, or possibly Mary Ann) was launched at Calcutta in 1800. She made one voyage from Calcutta to England for the British East India Company (EIC) in 1801.
EIC voyage (1801): Marian sailed from Calcutta on 21 February 1801. She was at Saugor on 18 March, reached Saint Helena on 2 August, and arrived at The Downs on 1 November.[6]
She was then admitted to the Registry of Great Britain on 17 April 1802.[5] She enters Lloyd's Register in 1802 with J(ames) Purrier, master, and Lambert & co., owner.[3]
For the invasions of Île Bourbon and Île de France (Mauritius) in 1810-1811 the British government hired a number of transport vessels. Marian was among them.[7]
