Sir Edward Hamilton (1800 Ship)
''Sir Edward Hamilton'' was a merchant ship launched at Rotherhithe in 1800. The British East India Company (EIC) chartered her in 1800 to bring rice from Bengal. She then proceeded to sail as a West Indiaman and later across the Atlantic, finally to the Baltic. She grounded in December 1853 and was so damaged that apparently she never sailed again. Career Weather-induced crop failures in Britain in 1799 and 1800 forced the British Government to import rice from Bengal to counter popular unrest. The wheat harvests of 1799 and 1800 were about one-half and three-quarters of the average, respectively. The price of bread rose sharply, leading to bread riots; some of rioters invoked the French Revolution.

The EIC chartered 28 vessels, ''Sir Edward Hamilton'' among them. Captain Andrew Robertson acquired a lett ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
