Sir William Pulteney was launched in 1803 at Calcutta as a country ship (a ship that traded only east of the Cape of Good Hope.) She sailed to England on a voyage for the British East India Company (EIC) and her owner sold her there. The EIC then engaged her as an "extra ship" for six voyages as an East Indiaman to India and back. She was sold in 1817.
