Overview

Neptune was a merchant ship built at Calcutta, British India in 1815. The British East India Company (EIC) chartered Neptune for one voyage. Later, she made two voyages transporting convicts from England to Australia. She was sold as a hulk in 1860. Career Neptune cost 150,000 rupees to build. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1816 with Innerarity, master, Hook & Co., owners, and trade London–Bengal, suggesting that she had taken on British registry and was sailing to Bengal under a license from the EIC. (The Register of Shipping showed her master's name as Inveriety.) In 1819 Neptunes master changed from Innerarity to R. Low, and her owner from Hook & Co. to Robinson. The Register of Shipping for 1820 showed Neptune with Lowe, master, Davidson & Co. owner, and trade Liverpool—Calcutta. In December 1823 her owners sold Neptune for a "Free Trader".

Notable quotes

“Although Uranus and Neptune are superficially twin planets, they are different enough to remind us - as do Venus and Earth - that we still have a lot to learn about the mix of natural laws and historical accidents that formed the planets and fashioned their destinies.”
— Timothy Ferris in: Seeing in the Dark: How Amateur Astronomers Are Discovering the Wonders of the Universe,Simon and Schuster, 8 July 2003, p. 206
