She made three voyages transporting convicts to Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales. She also traded with Jamaica, India, and Quebec. For two of the voyages to India she was an "extra" ship (i.e. under charter) to the British East India Company (EIC).
Career
Initially, Albion traded with Jamaica under the command of Captain William Buckham.[1]
In 1813 the British East India Company (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 licence from the EIC.Шаблон:Sfnp Her owners applied for a licence on 22 September 1815 and received it the next day.Шаблон:Sfnp
Then on 3 November 1815, Albion, Fisher, master, sailed to India,[2] or more precisely, Madras and Bengal, under a license from the EIC.[3]
Between August 1817 and 20 October 1818 Albion, Buckham, master, sailed from Bristol to Calcutta and back. This the first voyage to Calcutta from Bristol by any vessel. Her return leg took 167 days, including six days at Cape Town.Шаблон:Sfnp
In 1820 Samuel Grainger (or Granger) purchased Albion. On 16 February 1821 he chartered her to the EIC at a rate of £8 11s per ton for 479 tons for one voyage to Bengal and back.Шаблон:Sfnp Under the command of Captain Charles Weller she left the City Canal on 17 April 1821. She spent 20 days in the Downs before sailing for Madras and Bengal. She reached Madras on 16 September and arrived at Calcutta on 11 November. Homeward-bound, she was at Kedgeree on 14 January 1822 and at Madras on 3 February. She reached St Helena on 1 July and arrived at Blackwall on 1 September.[4]
On her first convict voyage, under the command of William Rayner Best, she departed Spithead, England on 20 May 1823 and arrived at Hobart Town on 21 October 1823.Шаблон:Sfnp She transported 202 male convicts, but off-loaded two convicts at Cape of Good Hope; no convicts died on the voyage.Шаблон:Sfnp One of her convicts was the serial killer, cannibal, and bushranger Thomas Jeffries. Albion left Hobart Town and arrived at Sydney in December 1823. Albion was blown ashore at Port Louis, Mauritius, on 23 February 1824 with the loss of her masts, but she was able to heave off.[5][6][7]
At some point Charles Weller purchased Albion. Her third voyage to India, and second for the EIC, took place between 8 June 1825 and 23 June 1826.Шаблон:Sfnp Charles Weller chartered her to the EIC on 30 March 1825 at a rate of £12 19s per ton for 479 tons for a voyage to Bengal and back.Шаблон:Sfnp Captain Charles Weller sailed from West India Dock on 2 May 1825, bound for Bengal. She was at the Down on 8 June, and reached Calcutta on 21 October. Homeward-bound, she was at Kedgeree on 24 December and Madras on 11 January 1826. She reached St Helena on 8 April and arrived at East India Dock on 23 June.[4]
