Provenance: Christie’s Amsterdam, Diana Cargo Sale, March 1995, Lot 412
Built as a West Indiaman, Diana was launched in 1799 but from 1805 she made four voyages under the charter of the British East India Company. In 1817 during her fifth, and final, voyage to India, she ran into difficulties in the Hooghly River whilst homeward bound. There is little said as to the events that led to these difficulties, however she was left severely damaged as a result and condemned in Bengal in June 1818.
