Sir Andrew Snape Hammond was a merchant vessel launched at Calcutta in 1802. By 1807, her name had changed to Udny (or Udney). In 1807, the French captured her, but she eventually returned to non-French ownership and Calcutta registry. She was wrecked in 1824.
In 1803, Sir Andrew Snape Hammond's owner was S. Teague.[2]
It is not clear when Sir Andrew Snape Hammond was renamed Udny.[1]
The French frigate Piémontaise captured Udny on 2 October 1807. At the time the name of her master was Walteas or Wallis.[5][6] Udny (or Adny) was carrying a cargo of saltpeter, wine, grain, and 5,625 sacks of rice. The value of the prize was 201,316.54 French francs.[7]
It is not clear how or when Udny returned to Calcutta registry, though it is clear that she did.[1][4]
