Three ships with the name ''Osterley'' served the British East India Company (EIC) as an East Indiaman between 1758 and 1800: *''Osterley'', a ship of 642 tons (bm) launched in October 1757 by Perry, Blackwall. She made four voyages for the company.〔National Archives - Osterley (1),() - accessed 23 July 2015.〕 In 1770 her owners sold her into the North American timber trade. On 12 October 1771 she was returning from Piscataqua with a cargo of masts when she stranded at Hurst Castle, on the Solent. She was refloated and taken to Portsmouth where she was surveyed. On 20 October sh was condemned and sold for breaking up.〔Hackman (2001), p.168.〕 *''Osterley'', a ship of 758 tons (bm) launched on 9 October 1771 by Wells, Deptford. She made two voyages for the company before the French frigate ''Pourvoyeuse'' captured her on 21 February 1779 while she was on her third voyage.〔National Archives - Osterley (2),() - accessed 23 July 2015.〕〔 *''Osterley'' a ship of 775 tons (bm) launched in 1780 that made seven voyages for the EIC, and though the French captured her in 1799 on her last voyage, the British recaptured her, allowing her in 1800 to return to Britain. ''Osterley'' was originally named for Osterley Park, the home of the Child family, owners of Child & Co., a private bank that financed EIC voyages and ships. Francis Child III was an investor in the first ''Osterley''. At least one other notable later vessel, the Osterley (1909 ship), has also born the name. ==Citations== 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「Osterley (East Indiaman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
