A House of Commons report stated that Harriet had been sold to the government before 1814 for use as a transport.Шаблон:Sfnp If so, this is not obvious from her listings in either LR or the RS.
In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a license from the EIC.Шаблон:Sfnp
