Morning Star was launched at Scarborough in 1825. She spent her entire career sailing to Ceylon (later via Australia). Until the British East India Company (EIC) gave up its shipping activities in 1834, Morning Star sailed under a licence from the EIC. She was last listed in 1857, but had disappeared from ship arrival and departure data after 1853.

Career[]

Morning Star first appeared in LR in 1826.[3]

In 1813 the 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] Morning Star immediately began trading with Ceylon under such a license.[2]
