Timandra was launched in 1814. She started trading with India and made one voyage for the British East India Company (EIC) before she was lost off the Lofoten Islands in 1822.
Timandra quickly began trading with the India and South East Asia under a license from the EIC. She first appeared in the Register of Shipping in 1816.
