'''''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.

==Loss==
''[[Lloyd's List]]'' reported on 17 December 1824, that ''Udney'', Holden, master, had been sighted off [[Île Bourbon]] on 29 May 1824, whilst on a voyage from Bengal to London. At the time of the report there had been no further trace, and so she was presumed foundered with the loss of all hands.<ref>''[[Lloyd's List]]'' [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.c2735034?urlappend=%3Bseq=415 №4969.]</ref> Actually, ''Udney'', Houlding, master, had wrecked at [[Inhambane]] Bay, Mozambique, on her passage from Calcutta and Madras for London.<ref name=Times080325/><ref name=LL080325>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.c2735035?urlappend=%3Bseq=79 ''Lloyd's List'' №5992.]</ref>

She had sprung a leak on 15 June, while she was off Natal, but had gotten into [[Maputo Bay|Delagoa Bay]] on the 19th. On the 21st she had been blown out of the Bay, resulting in her wreck on 2 July. Her crew and passengers were saved, and the whaler {{ship||Emma|1808 ship|2}} carried them to [[Saint Helena]].<ref name=Times080325>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=(untitled) |date=8 March 1825 |page=4 |issue=12595 |column=A }}</ref><ref name=LL080325/> Some pepper and cardamums of ''Udny''{{'}}s cargo had been saved too. Sixty-five cases of cardamums and 235 bags of pepper were sold at Mozambique for the benefit of the underwriters.<ref>''Oriental Herald and Colonial Review'', Volume 5, p.154.</ref>
