Mugsalot: - I have done a little digging and unfortunately it looks like there is one other good contender for Britannia, and a possible, lower probability third contender. I'll keep an eye out because it would be great if we could connect a vessel to the location.

The aforementioned Britannia sailed from England in the summer of 1771, arrived in Bombay in January 1772, then left in August 1772, and arived at Balambangan in December 1773
[2]. The ship was commanded by Captain John Herbert
[3].

@
Mugsalot: Thanks for getting back to me. That info knocks out my prime contender for the vessel, and I can find no other candidates. Unfortunately, Lloyd's Register is not available for the relevant years so I can't use that. Lists of vessels built at Bombay or Calcutta show no likely candidate. List's of EIC ships also show nothing. I'll dig a little more, but not with strong hopes of finding anything.
