Most of the transports were “country ships”. Country ships were vessels that were registered in ports of British India such as Bombay and Calcutta, and that traded around India, with Southeast Asia, and China, but that did not sail to England without special authorization from the EIC. In addition, some of the transports for the invasion were “regular ships” of the British East India Company (EIC), and some were “extra ships”. Regular ships were on a long term contract with the EIC, and extra ships were vessels the EIC had chartered for one or more voyages.The data in the table below comes primarily from two sources. An 1814 report from a Select Committee of the House of Commons of the British Parliament provided the data only on country ships, giving the names of a large number of vessels, and their burthen (bm). Then the Naval Chronicle published a list of vessels than had assembled at Malacca in May\u2013June 1811 and then sailed for Java.[2] The list in the Naval Chronicle also included the names of British Royal Navy warships, EIC warships, and other EIC vessels, particularly regular and extra ships. A number of transports in the Select Committee report do not show up as having sailed from Malacca. Equally, a number of transports in the Naval Chronicle list are not in the Select Committee report. Transports without burthen data are in the Naval Chronicle but not in the Select Committee report.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Names of vessels that appear in both lists do not always agree. Some vessels in the Select Committee report that have compound names such as “Bombay Anna” or “Arab Mary” appear in the Naval Chronicle as Bombay and Anna, and as Arab and Mary. Also, transliteration of non-English names shows no consistency across sources, making it extremely difficult to try to find more information about the vessels in question.Many of the transports gathered at Malacca and then left in four divisions on the following days:1st division: 7 June 18112nd division: 11 June3rd division: 14 June4th division: 17 JuneNameBurthenDivisionNotesAlexander7503Lost on the Bill of Portland 1815Ann4034Built at Pegu?Bombay Anna9552Lost at sea 1815-16Anne4054Possibly victualerAntipodes70Asia9923Asia Felix3243Batavia6001EIC extra shipBetsey3304Hired transportBetsey1753Hired brigBorneo3654Possibly a victualer; lost at Madagascar 1814Britannia1701Cawdry4Charles Baillie200Charlotte2484Foundered in Madras Roads October 1818Cornwallis6532Countess of Harcourt5011Derie Beggi  \/ Derea Beggye5004Foundered 1838Duncan4003Built at Beypour in 1803Estambool \/ Estaenboole3104Fattahoul Khyer \/ Footahoolkeer3684Fifeshire501Fleetwood3501ex-Jessy (Calcutta; 1802); broken up at Calcutta in 1815.Fort William11601Friendship8723Lost on the Nicobars, 1819Futteh Almoneen490Harmoody4152Harriot \/ Harriet?488Built at Pegu?Huddart5652EIC regular shipHugh Inglis8212EIC regular shipJames Drummond6693Built at Demaun 1800 as Adam Smith; broken up at Calcutta, 1823.Kheeleel \/ Keleel3104Lord Eldon5713EIC extra shipLowjee Family9263Destroyed by fire in Bombay Harbour, 1849Macauley2644Marchioness Wellesley \/ Marchioness of Wellesley510 \/ 581Broken up 1821, or 1824Margaret and Francis3051Mary2504Lost on the John and Margaretta Shoal 1823.Mary400Arab Mary3502Matilda7622Wrecked March 1822Mentor400Minerva brig160Minto1904EIC-hired agent vesselMornington7704Built at CalcuttaMysore831 \/ 9002Built Pegu 1795: Lost off Pulo Sapata 1818Nadir Shah518Northumberland6004EIC extra shipOlive  (or hired brig Olivia)4204Captured 1806; returned to British handsPerseverance2804Phoenix336Phoenix8183EIC regular shipPreston6714EIC regular shipResource4003Captured 1807;[a] Returned to British ownership; registered at Calcutta prior to January 1811Substitute4Sullimany, or Solimany6893Launched at DemaunSullimany350Sultana3003Sundany4301Thomas Henchman517Burnt 1811 at Malacca on the expedition to JavaTroubridge8002Venus2502Captured by USS\u00a0Peacock in 1815; later returned to British ownershipWellesley3William Pitt8191EIC regular shipWindham8331Wrecked September 1815^ The French frigate Pi\u00e9montaise captured Resource on 9 October 1807.
