Sir William Pulteney (1802 ship)

Sir William Pulteney was a merchant ship launched in 1802. Built in Calcutta, British India, she was primarily employed in trade between India and Great Britain, making several voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) and other private merchants. The ship is documented for participating in at least one notable incident involving an attack or threat, though the details surrounding this incident may vary depending on the historical source. Further research is needed to compile a comprehensive history of the vessel, including its eventual fate (e.g., shipwreck, sale, decommissioning). Available records suggest she was a relatively large vessel for her time, designed for long voyages and the transport of valuable cargo. Information on her builders, owners, and specific cargo is scattered across various archives and shipping records.
