East Indian entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1819 with Wishart, master, Boltons, owner, and trade Hull–India.

[3] On 23 December 1821, East Indian was wrecked on the Kettle-bottom Sand, in the North Sea off Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

[4][5] Lloyd's List reported that a tremendous gale had driven East Indian, Knill, master, of and from Hull to London and Bengal, on to the Cross Sand, where she sank.

[6] In its next issue, Lloyd's List reported that East Indian had now nearly sunk to her tops, and that logs from her were washing ashore.

[7] One source reports that she sank on Cross Island on her way from Bengal to London,[1] but that appears to be a transcription error.
