} |} ''Ocean'' was an East Indiaman, launched in 1800, that made four trips for the Honourable East India Company. She is most famous for her participation, in 1803, in the battle of Pulo Aura. She foundered in 1811 while on her fifth trip. ==Career== ;Voyage #1 (1801–02) Captain Andrew Patton sailed ''Ocean'' for Bombay and China. He had been captain of the company's previous ''Ocean'', which had wrecked in 1797. Because the French Revolutionary Wars were still on going, Patton received a letter of marque, which was dated 10 December 1800.〔 ''Ocean'' left Portsmouth on 9 January 1801 and reached on 22 May. From there she sailed for China. She reached Whampoa on 6 October. On the return leg she crossed the Second Bar on 7 December. She arrived at Saint Helena on 12 April 1802, and The Downs on 10 June.〔 ;Voyage #2 (1802–04) On ''Ocean''s second voyage, Patton was again her captain and he left The Downs on 13 October 1802 for the Cape of Good Hope, Madras, Bombay and China. After the resumption of war with France in 1803, Patton posthumously received a new letter of marque dated 1 July 1803 for the same vessel, with a crew of 140 men and 36 guns.〔(Letter of Marque, 1793-1815; p.80 )〕 Patton died at Bombay in June 1803; ''Ocean''s first lieutenant, John Christian Lochner, became captain and it was he that commanded her at the battle of Pulo Aura. ''Ocean'' reached Britain on 15 August 1804.〔 ;Voyage #3 (1805–06) Captain John(s) James Williamson became captain of ''Ocean'' for this and her next two voyages. The change of captain required the issuing of a new letter of marque. This one was dated 17 December 1804.〔 On her third voyage she left Portsmouth on 8 March 1805, bound for Madras and China. She reached Madeira on 26 March, and Madras on 14 July. By 27 August she was at Penang, and then on 14 September she was at Malacca. She reached Whampoa on 22 December. On the return leg ''Ocean'' was "off Chumpee" (Chuenpee) in the Bocca Tigris, the estuary of the Pearl River, on 26 February 1806. She reached St Helena on 2 July, and The Downs on 3 September.〔 ;Voyage #4 (1808–09) On Her fourth voyage, ''Ocean'' left Portsmouth on 5 March 1808, sailing for China. She reached the Cape of Good Hope on 31 May. From there she sailed to Madras, which she reached on 3 August. From there she sailed to Penang (22 August) and Malacca (3 September), before reaching Whampoa on 2 October. On the return leg she crossed the Second Bar on 2 February 1809. She reached St Helena on 7 July, and The Downs on 8 September.〔 ;Voyage #5 (1810-loss) ''Ocean'' was again under the command of Captain Williamson when she departed in January 1810 for St. Helena, Bencoolen, and China.〔 ''Ocean'' apparently foundered off Puolo Sapate in 1811.〔The Dutch referred to the island as Pulau Sapate or Sapata. Unfortunately, its Indonesia name is not clear.〕 Because she foundered, there is little further information.〔(Index of East India Ship Incident Records: A to Z, c.1700 to c.1834 - accessed 2 December 2014. )〕 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「Ocean (1800 London)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
