Two vessels with the name ''Pigot'' have served the British East India Company (EIC). *''Pigot'', of 766 tons (bm), was laid down in 1757 and launched by Wells, Deptford, on 3 February 1763.〔Hackman (2001), p.180.〕 She made four voyages for the EIC, between 1765 and 1773.〔National Archives: ''Pigot'' (1),() - Accessed 31 December 2014.〕 ''Lloyd's Register'' for 1776 (supplemental pages), describes the ''Pigot'', laid down 1757, of 700 tons, launched on the River, with A. Hutton, master, Jn Durand, owner, and trade London transport. Between 1776 and 1779, her owners hired her out as an armed escort ship and transport.
