Nancy (1774 EIC ship)

Nancy was an East Indiaman launched in 1774 for the British East India Company (EIC). She undertook several voyages for the EIC, primarily to China and India. Like many East Indiamen, she was heavily armed to protect herself against pirates and privateers during her long voyages. The Nancy's voyages typically involved transporting goods such as tea, silk, spices, and manufactured goods between England and the East. Specific details about her captains, cargo, and notable events during her voyages are generally recorded in the EIC's records, though comprehensive details of every journey can vary in availability. The Nancy's service life lasted into the late 18th or early 19th century, typical for vessels of this type, after which she would likely have been sold, repurposed, or broken up.
