Zenobia was a merchant ship launched in 1815 at Calcutta, India. She traded with India under license from the British East India Company (EIC), and made one voyage for the EIC. She then became a Free Trader (i.e., no longer required a license). In 1852 the P&O company purchased Zenobia to use her as a coal hulk. She was broken up in 1871.
Zenobia first appears in Lloyd's Register in 1816 as a one-year old ship. G. Pelly is her master and owner, and her trade is London—India.[5]

On 25 August 1827 Zenobia sailed for Bengal.
Between 9 July 1829 and 14 June 1830, Zenobia made a return voyage from London to Bengal for the EIC.[6][1]Lloyd's Register for 1830 shows Zenobia with Douglas as master & owner, and trade London—India.[7]
The Indian businessman and industrialist Dwarkanath Tagore purchased Zenobia (or more likely a share in her), in 1833 for Rupees 55,000 from the estate of James Calder after the failure of the firm Mackingtosh & Co.[4]
