}} | Indian Trader was launched in July 1819. She was lost in May 1822 at Tauman, on the west coast of Sumatra.{{sfnp|Phipps|1840|p=109}} Lloyd's List reported that she was driven on shore on 14 May at Trumoon Beach and totally lost. She had been carrying a cargo of pepper for the Bencoolen Government of account of the British East India Company (EIC). Her crew was saved.[1] A slightly fuller account states that a squall upset her and drove her aground. She had been carrying 6000 peculs of pepper for the account of the EIC, the Bencoolen government having chartered her to collect it. The same account states that one sick lascar died in the wreck.[2]One source appears to conflate this Indian Trader with the 1791 {{ship||Indian Trader|1791 ship|2}} as it states that after she was abandoned to the underwriters she was salvaged, repaired, and sold to J. Somes & Co.{{sfnp|Hackman|2001|p=285}} In 1823 Somes did purchase an Indian Trader from "Ewart", but this was the 1791 Indian Trader.
