Woodcot (1786 EIC ship)

The Woodcot was an East Indiaman built for the British East India Company (EIC) and launched in 1786. She performed six voyages for the EIC between 1786 and 1802, primarily trading between England and destinations in India and China. Specific details about her construction, dimensions, and armament are sparsely documented, but East Indiamen of this period typically were heavily armed merchant vessels capable of defending themselves against pirates and privateers.

The Woodcot's voyages generally followed the established routes of the EIC, involving the transport of goods such as textiles, tea, spices, and opium between Britain and its trading posts in the East. Her crew would have been a mix of British and Asian sailors.

The fate of the Woodcot after her sixth voyage is currently undocumented. Further research in historical records and maritime archives is needed to determine her eventual decommissioning or loss.
