The East Indiamen of the British East India Company passed many places and stopped at many ports on their voyages from Britain to India and China in the 17th to 19th centuries, both on the way and as destinations. Some of these places were simply landmarks, but a number of the places were the locations of EIC factories, i.e., trading posts. In many cases the spelling of the names of these locations has changed between then and now. One purpose of this list is to link, where possible, the names as given in ships' logs with the modern name. Names in ''italics'' represent cases where the modern and older name are different. ==A-C== *Acheh *''Amboina'' *''Amoy'' *''Anger'' or Anjere *Angra Pequeña *''Anjengo'' - site of Anchuthengu Fort & EIC factory (1684-1813) * Ascension Island *''Babelmandel Island'' *''Balambangan'' *Balasore; Balasore Roads is about 125 miles south of Calcutta; it provided a sheltered anchorage for vessels waiting a pilot or favourable winds to take them upriver, or to transfer cargo *Bandar Abbas *Banjarmasin (See also Tamborneo) * Bankshall - general term for the office of harbor-master or other port authority; at Calcutta the office stood on the banks of the Hooghli *Bantal - west coast of Sumatra in the Moco Moco district (see below); 20 miles SE of Moco Moco and 17 miles NW of Ipuh *''Bantam''; see also Banten Sultanate *Barrabulla or Barra Bulla is a sandbank that forms near Kedgeree (see below) in the Hooghli River. *''Batavia'' *''Bencoomat'' *''Benkulen'' or ''Bencoolen''; see also Fort Marlborough *Benguela *Bimilipatnam (or Bhimili) *''Billiton'' is an island that also gave its name to a strait.
