Albinia was launched at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1813. She initially sailed several times to India under a license from the British East India Company (EIC). One of her voyages brought her master into conflict with the Post Office. She then sailed primarily between London and Demerara. She foundered on 25 March 1842 off the coast of Ireland.
