Cornwallis (1787 ship)
''Cornwallis'' was a snow that the Honourable East India Company had built in 1787 at Bombay Dockyard for the Bengal Pilot Service. A French privateer captured her in 1796.
==Career==
On 12 November 1792, ''Cornwallis'' left Calcutta for the Andaman Islands, together with the EICs vessels ''Juno'', ''Union'', and ''Seahorse'', all under the command of Captain Archibald Blair, in ''Union''. They were carrying some 360 settlers and supplies for six months to establish a settlement on North Andaman Island. A gale dispersed the vessels, but all arrived, with ''Cornwallis'', the last to arrive on 14 December.〔''Indian Antiquary'', Vol. 31, pp.41-43.〕 ''Cornwallis'' was under the command of Captain C. Crawley, who on 27 December wrote a letter to Blair reporting on a mutinous attitude among the European members of his crew. At the end of December Crawley was relieved of duty and replaced by Lieutenant Wales, of the Bombay Marine, who was then in command of the ''Ranger''. At the same time ''Cornwallis'' was removed from the Pilot Service and transferred to the Andaman Station.〔''Indian Antiquary'', Vol. 31, pp.43-44.〕
On 23 March 1793 ''Cornwallis'' arrived at Port Cornwallis with a detachment of sepoys. Major A. Kyd, the superintendent for the Andamans, then dispatched her for Achoon (Aceh) and the coast of Pedeir (or Pedir; the north part of the coast of Sumatra), to purchase rice and livestock. On her return she was to sail to the Carnicobars to gather coconuts for planting.〔''Indian Antiquary'', Vol. 31, p.143.〕
