Calcutta (1798 EIC ship)
text:
Calcutta was launched in 1798 as an East Indiaman. She made four voyages for the British East India Company (EIC), and disappeared while homeward bound from Bengal on her fifth voyage. On 5 April 1797 the EIC accepted a tender by Michael Humble for Calcutta. The terms were that the EIC would engage her for six voyages to ports in India or China at a rate of £20 10s per ton for 819 tons. The EIC required that Calcutta be built on the Thames.
