Welcome to this website about the ships of the
East India Company
This site is a work in progress. It is a database-driven site
which will be fully searchable in many different ways.
When completed it will provide information on all the ships,
voyages and seafarers of the East India Company's mercantile
services.
- ships (construction details, owners, service history, ultimate
fate)
- seafarers (sea service, ships served on, personal details,
biographies)
- voyages (dates of voyages, crew, ports of call, wrecks, captures,
missing)
Later, there will be scope for information to be
added to the the site which has been provided by people from their
own research; all contributions will be acknowledged.
At present, it is the ships
section which is being worked on.
