Harriet (1802 EIC ship)

The Harriet was an East Indiaman, a merchant ship chartered to the British East India Company (EIC), launched in 1802. These ships were vital to the EIC's trade network, carrying goods between Britain, India, and China, and sometimes engaging in other voyages within the East. As an EIC ship, the Harriet would have been heavily armed and well-manned to protect against pirates and enemy ships during its voyages. She would have transported a variety of goods, including tea, silk, spices, cotton, and opium. Information about her specific voyages, captains, and any significant events during her service can typically be found in the Lloyd's Register, the records of the East India Company, and other maritime historical sources. The exact duration of her service with the EIC would need to be confirmed by consulting such records.
