Several vessels have been named Princess Charlotte for one of the many Princesses Charlotte:
Princess Charlotte (1796 EIC ship) was an "extra ship’’ of the British
East India Company (EIC). She made four voyages for the EIC. On her second voyage she suffered a short-lived mutiny and then spent almost a year as an armed ship in the service of the EIC, including a voyage to the
Red Sea. A squadron of the French Navy captured her in the
Vizagapatamroads in 1804, on her fourth voyage.
Princess Charlotte was launched at Cowes in 1805. The
Royal Navy purchased her in 1807 and named her
HMS Viper. The 4-gun schooner disappeared in February 1809 while sailing from Cadiz to Gibraltar and was presumed to have foundered with all hands.
Princess Charlotte (1813 ship) was launched in New York in 1811 under another name, taken in prize in 1813 and renamed, and wrecked in 1824.
Princess Charlotte (1814 ship) was launched at South Shields. She initially sailed as
West Indiaman. Then between 1818 and 1819 she made a voyage to India and one to Ceylon, both under a license from the British
East India Company (EIC). On her return in 1819 she became a Dundee-based
whaler in the
northern whale fishery. She continued whale hunting until ice crushed her on 14 June 1856.
Princess Charlotte (1815 ship) was launched at Whitehaven. She made several voyages to India, sailing under a license issued by the EIC. She was last listed in 1841, though she apparently sailed for at least another two years.
