Earl of Mornington (or Earl Mornington), was a merchant vessel of 500 tons burthen (bm) built at Bombay Dockyard of teak and launched in 1766 or 1768. She made three voyages under charter to the British East India Company (EIC) under the command of captain Benjamin Ferguson. She does not appear in Lloyd's Register until 1804 and no longer appears in either Lloyd's Register or in the Register of Shipping in 1810.
Her third voyage had Earl of Mornington sailing on 6 November 1803 for Madras, arriving on 16 May 1805.[4]
Notesedit
^The British Library conflates this Earl of Mornington with another Earl of Mornington, listing the two vessels' voyages together under the name of the first.[5]
