Earl of Mornington (1799 ship)

The Earl of Mornington was a British East Indiaman launched in 1799. She served the East India Company (EIC) on voyages to India and China.

Details regarding her design, dimensions, and armament are limited, but East Indiamen of this period were generally large, heavily armed merchant vessels designed to carry cargo and passengers, as well as defend themselves against pirates and enemy warships. They played a crucial role in the EIC's trade network, transporting goods such as tea, spices, textiles, and opium.

The Earl of Mornington’s career involved multiple voyages between England and the East. Information on the specific routes, commanders, and cargo carried on each voyage would require further research of Lloyd's Register, the British Library, and other historical records related to maritime history and the East India Company.

The fate of the Earl of Mornington, whether it was wrecked, sold, or otherwise disposed of, is not readily available without further investigation.
