Coromandel was the French prize Modeste, captured in 1793 and refitted at Chittagong, British India (now Bangladesh).

She made two voyages transporting convicts to Port Jackson, the first for the British East India Company (EIC).

[5] Coromandel sailed from England on 4 December 1803, with 200 male convicts, and 32 officers and men of the New South Wales Corps, who provided the guards.

While sailing in the Bay of Biscay Experiment suffered damage during a gale and had to limp back to Cowes for repairs.

[8] The French privateer Henriette captured Coromandel on 15 March 1805, as she was sailing from China to London, and sent her into Mauritius.

There was a Coromandel that was reported to have been totally lost in the Carimata Passage, together with Abercrombie, the first coming from Bengal bound for Batavia and the second from Bombay to China.

The American privateer schooner York (or Yorktown), captured Coromandel, a "country ship" of 500 tons (bm), as she was sailing from Batavia to London.

[17][c] Lloyd's List reported that Coromandel, Cameron, master, from St Helena, was missing from "the Fleet" on 13 August.

[1] Coromandel, W. Butler, master, was sailing for Malacca when her crew had to abandon her off the coast of Borneo as she was in a sinking state.
