EIC voyage (1801): Marian sailed from Calcutta on 21 February 1801. She was at Saugor on 18 March, reached Saint Helena on 2 August, and arrived at The Downs on 1 November.[6]
She was then admitted to the Registry of Great Britain on 17 April 1802.[5] She enters Lloyd's Register in 1802 with J(ames) Purrier, master, and Lambert & co., owner.[3]
For the invasions of Île Bourbon and Île de France (Mauritius) in 1810-1811 the British government hired a number of transport vessels. Marian was among them.[7]
Conjectural later career
editOne source states that Mary Ann, of 348 tons (bm), was launched at Calcutta in 1801. (The source has no other vessel of a similar name in the 1800-1816 period.) It goes on to state that later she became Fyzaal Kareem (or Fazzel Kurrim), of Bombay.[4]
Marian, of 350 tons (bm), was listed as belonging to the port of Calcutta in January 1811. Fazel Kurreem, of 348 tons (bm), was still listed in 1819 and 1829,
