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 license from the EIC.[2]

On 27 July 1828 Captain Eadie sailed for Batavia and Singapore under a license from the EIC.[3] Then on 31 October 1829 Captain Harding sailed there too. On 15 August 1831 Captain W. Ravenscroft sailed Indian to Batavia and Manilla.
