Charles Grant

Charles Grant was built at Bombay 1810. Between 1810 and 1833 she made 12 voyages as an East Indiaman for the British East India Company (EIC). Her owners sold her in 1834. She then sailed for new owners until 1838 when they had her broken up. Alternatively, she may have been sold to India and burnt there in 1847 at Bombay. Origin Charles Grant was built on the bottom of Ganges, which had been laid down in June or October 1808 in Bombay. Prior to her launch in January 1810 she was renamed Charles Grant. She was built by the EIC itself for its own service and cost Rs 4,40,556 to build and outfit. Later the EIC sold Charles Grant to the owners of a vessel that had been lost for them to employ it under charter to the EIC.
