Sappho (1813 ship)

The Sappho was a merchant vessel built in Calcutta, India, in 1813. She primarily sailed between India and Britain, engaging in trade and passenger transport. Detailed records of her voyages and cargoes can be found in Lloyd's Register and related maritime archives, although these may not be fully complete. The Sappho's construction in India reflects the significant shipbuilding industry that existed in that region during the early 19th century. Vessels built in India were often highly regarded for their quality of materials and craftsmanship. While details of her individual ownership are less readily available, ships like the Sappho were typically owned by merchants or partnerships involved in the East India trade or by individuals seeking investment opportunities in shipping. Further research into maritime databases and archival records may yield more precise details regarding her voyages, ownership, and eventual fate.
