Earl of Abergavenny (ship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At least two ships, both East Indiamen of the East India Company (EIC), have borne the name Earl of Abergavenny, named for Henry Nevill, 2nd Earl of Abergavenny:

  • Earl of Abergavenny (1789 EIC ship) - launched in 1789 and made two trips for the EIC before the Royal Navy bought her in 1795 and named her HMS Abergavenny; the Navy sold her in 1807.
  • Earl of Abergavenny (1796 EIC ship) - launched in 1796 and wrecked in 1805.
