Countess of Harcourt (1812 ship) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Countess of Harcourt (1812 ship)
''Countess of Harcourt '' was a two-decker, teak merchant ship launched at Prince of Wales's Island in 1812, and sold in Great Britain in 1814. An American privateer captured her in 1814, but the British recaptured her in 1815. Later, she made five trips transporting convicts to Australia. Between the third and fourth of these, she undertook a voyage to China and Nova Scotia while under charter to the British East India Company (EIC). She was wrecked in late 1830. ==Origins== ''Countess of Harcourt'' was built in 1812 at Prince of Wales's Island, one of only three major vessels built there between 1810 and 1814.〔 She traded around India briefly. On 7 May 1813 she sailed from Isle de France (Mauritius) to Madras, where she arrived on 4 June. On that voyage she carried the American Baptist missionaries Adoniram Judson and his wife, who were endeavouring to reach Penang, but ended up in Burma instead.〔Judson (1894), p.35.〕 ''Countess of Harcourt'' then sailed to England where she was sold. This was apparently a way for the EIC to remit money back to England.〔Webster (2007), p. 57.〕
