Britannia was launched in 1794 at Northfleet. She made two voyages as an "extra ship" for the British East India Company (EIC). On her second voyage a French privateer captured her, but the British Royal Navy recaptured her shortly thereafter. She then became a West Indiaman and was lost c.1801.

Career

1st EIC voyage

Captain Thomas Nixon jnr. received a letter of marque for Britannia on 22 August 1795.[1] He left Yarmouth on 20 September 1795, bound for Bengal. She arrived at Calcutta on 22 February 1796.

There she loaded rice on behalf of the British government which was importing grain to address high prices for wheat in Britain following a poor harvest.
