- Source: Vittoria (1813 Whitby ship)
Vittoria was launched at Whitby in 1813 as a transport. She transported migrants and troops to Canada. A new owner shifted her registration to London in December 1817. The new owner then employed her in trading with India under a license from the British East India Company. She was condemned at Calcutta and sold for breaking up in October 1820.
On 15 May 1817, Vittorio, Dodd, master, sailed from London. She arrived at Quebec on 6 July. She was carrying 40 migrants, 190 soldiers of the 37th Regiment of Foot, and ordnance stores for the government. At some point she grounded, but was gotten off.
The Register of Shipping for 1820 showed Vittoria, Driver, master, with trade London—Bengal.
On 30 August 1820 she had to put back to Calcutta as she was leaking badly. She had left Bengal for the Cape and London. She was condemned and sold on 6 October 1821 for breaking up. Her cargo was transferred to Ganges, Chivers, master.
