Swallow (1813 ship)
# Swallow (1813 ship)

Swallow was launched at Calcutta in 1813. She sailed to England and then traded between England and India under a license from the British East India Company (EIC) through 1824. She returned to Calcutta registry and at some point after 1824 was sold in Java.

## Career

In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a license from the EIC.

Swallow first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1815.
