Theodosia was built at Shields in 1782. She spent 20 years trading with the Baltic, and then another dozen trading with North America and the Baltic. From 1816 she traded with India, sailing under a license from the British East India Company. She was wrecked while returning from a voyage to India in 1825.
Theodosia first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1784 with J.Culingham, master, James Aram, owner, and trade Onega-Hull.[2] Thereafter she traded with the Baltic and Flanders for some two decades.
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.[3] Thereafter, John Gladstone, of Liverpool, purchased Westmoreland and other vessels to trade with India.[a]
On 2 February 1816 Theodosia, E. Wardropper, master and J.Gladstone, owner, sailed for Fort William, India under a license from the EIC.[5]
