Seringapatam (ship, 1837)

The Seringapatam was the first of the so-called “Blackwall Frigates”, a group of East Indiaman ships. It was built in 1837 by Green, Wigram’s & Green’s Blackwall Yard in London, England for R. & H. Green.

After launch it set a new record of 85 days from London to Bombay, India.

Charles Hyne served aboard the ship as chief officer at some point between 1837 and 1839.

Here is an image of the Seringapatam from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, England.
