Earl of Balcarres (ship, 1815). The East Indiaman ‘Earl of Balcarres’, named in honour of Alexander Lindsay, the sixth Earl (1752-1825), was a magnificent teak vessel built by the powerful East India Company at their Bombay Dockyard and launched on 25th March 1815.[1] [2]Measured at 1,417 tons, she was 139 feet in length with a 44 foot beam and, in her prime, mounted fully two tiers of guns which made her look more like a two-decked ship-of-war than the merchantman she was.
