She made four voyages for the East India Company (EIC), one voyage transporting convicts to Australia, and numerous other sailing voyages. She was sold in 1844 for breaking up. ==East India Company - 1st Voyage== Pitcher had built ''Broxbornebury'' for Andrew Timbrell, who thus was her first owner. The East India Company took up ''Broxbornebury'' soon after her launching. Because she was launched during the Napoleonic Wars, the EIC arranged for her captain, Thomas Pitcher, to be issued a letter of marque, which it commonly did for many of its East Indiamen. Pitcher received the letter on 10 April 1812.〔 This gave her the right to capture enemy vessels, civilian and military, even when not engaging in self-defense. Pitcher sailed from Falmouth on 15 May 1812, reached Madeira on 3 June, and Kedgeree on 28 October. For her return voyage to Britain, ''Broxbornebury'' passed Saugor on 29 December. She was at Madras on 7 February 1813, and Colombo on 3 March. She reached St Helena on 13 June, and Gravesend on 12 August.〔 In 1813, TImbrell sold ''Broxbornebury'' to Andrew Chapman, and she left the EIC's service. From then until 1825 she traded privately on the London-India route as a licensed ship.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broxbornebury (1812 Indiaman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
