In 1813 the British East India Company (EIC), had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a licence from the EIC.[4]
Strenshall, Dunning, master, sailed from London on 28 July 1828, bound for Mauritius.[5]
Loss
On 8 February 1829, Strenshall, Constable Dunning, master, sailed from Mauritius for London and was not heard from again.[6] A hurricane that occurred or 12 February was believed to have been the cause of the loss. The same hurricane appears to have caused the loss of Darius.
