Lucy Maria or Lucy and Maria was launched at Calcutta in 1801. She made one voyage to England carrying rice from Bengal on behalf of the British East India Company (EIC). She was seized at Amboyna in 1804 and then sailed as the Dutch ship Victoria. The British recaptured her in 1806 and new owners renamed her Troubridge and later renamed her Lucy Maria. As Troubridge she served as a transport for two invasions, that of Mauritius in 1810 and Java in 1811. She was broken up in 1821. Career Lucy Maria cost sicca rupees 191,000 (c.£38,200) to build. She was built of teak and her actual carrying capacity (as distinct from her registered burthen), may have been on the order of 1300 tons. Captain Walter James, or more correctly Walter Dawes, sailed Lucy Maria from Calcutta on 7 February 1801, bound for England. She was at Saugor on 21 March and Simon's Bay on 31 July. She reached Saint Helena on 19 August and arrived at The Downs on 31 October. She was one of several vessels that delivered rice that the EIC offered for sale in December. The EIC offered the last 20 bags of rice from her in March 1802. Lucy Maria had sailed with 86 lascars as crew. Twenty-two of these men died on the voyage, and 20 were sick on their arrival in England. On 26 February 1802 Lucy and Maria was admitted to the Registry of Great Britain. She entered the Register of Shipping in 1802 with Dawes, master, Capt. & Co. owner, and trade London–Bengal. Dutch ownership Lloyd's List reported on 21 August 1804 that a French squadron under the command of Admiral Linois' had captured Lucy Maria, and some other vessels, prior to 28 February as she was sailing from Bengal to China. However, that report was in error. Lucy Maria, Dawes, master, had put into Ambonya, having lost most of her crew to sickness. There the Dutch took possession of her and sent her to Batavia. Captain Dawes survived for a few more days after her departure, but then died. Only three members of her crew survived. They arrived at Madras in the grab Nancy, from Tranquebar. The frigate and brig-sloop recaptured her in 1806. The two Royal Navy vessels encountered a Dutch squadron consisting of the Dutch national frigate Pallas, Dutch East India Company corvette William, Dutch East Indiaman Victoria
