Princess of Wales was launched at Stockton in 1795. She made three voyages as an "Extra ship", i.e., under charter, for the British East India Company (EIC). On her return she became a West Indiaman. A privateer captured her in 1803 as she was coming back to England from Jamaica, but British privateers immediately recaptured her. She continued sailing to Jamaica though later, under a new owner, she traded more widely. She probably foundered in 1828, and is last listed in 1830. CareerPrincess of Wales entered Lloyd's Register in 1795 with P. Marsh, master, R. Webster, owner, and trade London–India.[4] The next volume of Lloyd's Register showed her master as R. Marsh, and her trade as London–Bengal. The EIC had her measured and inspected in 1795. EIC voyage #1 (1795-1796)Captain Robert Abbon Marsh acquired a letter of marque on 12 June 1795.[2] (Earlier he had commanded {{ship||Admiral Barrington|1781 ship|2}}.) He sailed from The Downs on 8 July 1795, bound for Bengal. Princess of Wales arrived at Culpee on 8 November. She was at Calcutta on 1 December. Homeward bound, Kedgeree on 7 February 1796. She was at the Cape of Good Hope on 12 April, reached St Helena on 5 May, and arrived at The Downs on 3 August.[1] EIC voyage #2 (1796-1797)Captain Marsh sailed from The Downs on 16 October 1796, bound for Madras. Princess of Wales arrived at Madras on 11 February 1797. Homeward bound, she was at Trincomalee on 13 April, and Simon's Bay on 13 July. She reached St Helena on 11 September, and arrived at The Downs on 14 December.[1] EIC voyage #3 (1799)Captain Gilbert Mitchell acquired a letter of marque on 2 April 1798.[2] He sailed Princess of Wales to Madras on 31 May.[3] She left Madras on 1 March 1799, and was at the Cape on 30 April and St Helena on 21 May. She was off Beachy Head on 26 July.[5] She returned to her moorings on 30 July.[3] Later careerPrincess of Wales then appears to have become a West Indiaman, sailing to Jamaica. Lloyd's List reported on 12 July 1803, that a French privateer had captured Princess of Wales, Griegg, master, as she was sailing from Jamaica to London. However, the British privateers Lord Nelson and Trimmer had retaken her and sent her into Plymouth.[6] The French privateeer Malwan or Malouin, of four guns, out from Saint-Malo 15 days, had captured her on 2 July. The two British privateers recaptured her on 6 July. Princess of Wales was carrying a valuable cargo of 580 hogsheads of sugar and 150 logs. Princess of Wales had only two guns, and the French prize master had only 10 men to man them and sail her, but he fought for eight hours before striking.[7]{{refn|Lord Nelson was a schooner of 69 tons (bm), whose master, William Crowe, received a letter of marque on 27 May 1803. She had a crew of 40 men and was armed with eight 3&4-pounder guns and two swivel guns.[8] Trimmer, of Portsmouth, was armed with two or four 4-pounder guns and eight swivels. She had a crew of 20 men under the command of Henry Haskell, who had received a letter of marque on 8 June 1803.[9]|group=Note}} Captain Gregg was surprised to discover Princess of Wales in the Catwater; he had assumed that her captor had taken her to France. He had been a prisoner on Malouin, and had come into Plymouth on 16 July when the privateer brig Speedwell had captured Malouin a few days earlier and brought her into Plymouth.[10]{{refn|Speedwell, of London, "Cromer, John L.", master, was of 152 tons (bm). She was armed with twelve 4-pounder guns and had a crew of 30 men. Her letter of marque was dated 1 June 1803.[11]|group=Note}}{{refn|Princess of Wales was said to be worth £36,000.[10] Lord Nelson and Trimmer would have been entitled to a portion of the value as marine salvage.|group=Note}} On 23 November 1809 Princess of Wales, M'Kinley, master, was sailing for Jamaica when she ran down and sank Thomas & Hannah, Holman, master, which was sailing from Exeter to London. The crew was saved.[12]{{refn|Thomas & Hannah was of 41 tons (bm), French, and built in 1802. Her owner was Payne. Her entry in the Register of Shipping is marked "LOST".[13]|group=Note}} Later, Princess of Wales sailed to Quebec and Sierra Leone, and perhaps elsewhere.
