'''''East Indian''''' was launched at Calcutta in 1815. She remained a ''country ship'', that is, a British vessel trading east of the [[Cape of Good Hope]], until 1819. In 1819 she apparently sailed to England and may briefly have assumed British registry. By 1824 she had returned to Calcutta registry. She was wrecked in 1826 near [[Sagar Island|Saugor]].

A list of vessels registered at Calcutta in 1819 showed ''East Indian'' with H. Hogg, master, and Hogue & Co. owner.<ref>''East-India register and directory'' (1819), p.153.</ref> The ''Register of Shipping'' (''RS'') for (1820) showed ''East Indian'' with H.

A list of vessels registered at Calcutta in 1824 shows ''East Indian'' with Peter Roy, master, and Davidson & Co., owners.<ref>''East-India register and directory'' (1824), p.153.</ref>

==Fate==
On 25 July 1826, ''East Indian'', Captain Peter Roy, was wrecked on the [[Sagar Island|Saugor]] Sand. She had left [[Machilipatnam|Masulipatam]] on the 11th. She had attempted to ride out a gale that had come up but lost her anchors. By 26 December it was clear that she could not be saved. Roy and part of the crew took to her long boat and reached Edomonstone's Island ({{coord|21.59|N|88.17|E}}). Some of the crew took to her cutter, which overturned; only two men were saved.<ref>''Asiatic Journal'' Vol., 23, No. 133, Jan 1827, pp.81-2.</ref> ''[[Lloyd's List]]'' reported that she was coming from Rangoon, and stated that four men, natives, had drowned. It also gave the date of loss as 28 July.<ref>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.c2735036?urlappend=%3Bseq=403 ''Lloyd's List'' №6178.]</ref>
