Queen (East Indiaman)

At least five ships with the name Queen served the Honourable East India Company as an East Indiaman between 1701 and 1801:

Queen, 320 tons burthen (bm), 64 crew and 26 guns; the French captured her at Saint Helena on 1 June 1706.
Queen, a ship of 300-330 tons (bm), 18-22 guns and 60-66 crew, made two voyages to Bombay or Bencoolen between 1715 and 1720.
Queen, of 499 or 804 tons (bm), made five trips to India or China for the company between 1768 and 1784.
Queen, of 755 or 801 tons (bm), made four trips to India or China between 1786 and 1800, and on her fifth trip was lost to fire at Salvador, Bahia in 1800.
Queen, "extra" ship of 484 tons (bm), made three voyages between 1796 and 1801. She appears to have twice sailed under a letter of marque. The first was issued on 18 February 1796 to Captain Corbyn Morris Venner, and described Queen as having twelve 4 & 6-pounder guns, and a crew of 40. The second was issued on 10 June 1801 to Captain Alfred Nichols and described her as having sixteen 9 and 12-pounder guns and a crew of only 36 men.^[1]
