PRINCE REGENT

http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/marhist/whitehaven/prince_regent.htm

The Prince Regent was a full-rigged ship built at Whitehaven by William Bowes & Son and launched on the 8th May 1811. She operated for C.Campbell & Co. and was a licensed "India Ship" - after the East India Company lost its monopoly on trade to India in 1813, it granted licenses to allow the ships of other owners to use their facilities and carry their cargoes.
