Origins
The British East India Company (EIC) funded the construction of Bombay Castle as a contribution to the war effort.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp Similarly, the EIC also paid for the construction of Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS.
Bombay Castle was at Plymouth on 20 January 1795 and so shared in the proceeds of the detention of the Dutch naval vessels, East Indiamen, and other merchant vessels that were in port on the outbreak of war between Britain and the Netherlands.[1]
Loss
Bombay Castle was under the command of Captain Thomas Sotheby when she entered the Tagus, having taken a pilot on board. In attempting to avoid the storeship Camel, which had grounded ahead of Bombay Castle, Bombay Castle too grounded. During the subsequent week, attempts were made to float her off after boats had removed her guns and stores, but without success. The navy abandoned her as a wreck on 27 December 1798.Шаблон:Sfnp
