Three vessels with the name Scarborough have served the British
East India Company (EIC).
Scarborough (1734 EIC ship) was launched December 1734 and made two voyages for the EIC. The
Royal Navy purchased her on 21 November 1739 to use as a storeship, but then used her as a hospital ship instead. The Navy sold her on 18 December 1744.
Scarborough (1782 ship), launched in 1782, carried convicts on the
First Fleet to
New South Wales, carried a cargo for the EIC from China back to Britain, and again carried convicts on the
Second Fleet. Scarborough then made one more trip for the EIC between 1801 and 1802.
