Starling (1802 ship)

Starling was built at Harwich in 1802. She traded with Smyrna for some years and then became a West Indiaman. In 1810 a French privateer captured her, but the Royal Navy recaptured her within days. After the British East India Company lost its monopoly on the trade between Britain and India, Starling started trading to the Cape of Good Hope (the Cape, or CGH). She wrecked in 1815 off the English coast as she returned from a voyage to Batavia.
