He travelled on the East Indiaman, Astell, from Bengal, arriving in England in July 1811. Two other two elephants, also owned by Stephen Polito at some point, arrived in England. The first arrived in September 1809. The second elephant was brought to England from Sri Lanka on the East India Company ship Walthamstow in June 1810
