Radnor was launched on 9 September 1813 at Sulkea, Calcutta. She then sailed to England.
Radnor was admitted to the Registry of Great Britain on 16 April 1814. [4] She was sold in England and appeared in the Register of Shipping for 1815 with Barclay, master, Hogue, owner, and trade London– Île de France. [3]
A fire destroyed Radnor on 3 September 1815 off Saugor with the loss of thirteen of her crew. [5] [6] [7]
The loss of Radnor to fire, followed by that of Mornington and some other vessels, all on outward-bound voyages, led the Calcutta Insurance Office to petition the Bengal government to investigate the matter. The insurers suspected arson by lascars impressed or induced to serve on the vessels. [8]
