Asia (1798 ship)
In 1805 the privateer Mercury seized her and the High Court of Admiralty condemned Asia for trading with France.[1] J. Annen & Co. purchased Asia and renamed her Duchess of York.[1] On 18 November 1810, Duchess of York was outbound from London to Rio de Janeiro when she ran aground on the Goodwin Sands.[8] On 19 December 1812 a violent gale damaged Dutchess of York, Massingham, master, and several other vessels in the Tagus.[9] The transport Dutchess of York, Ford, master, was wrecked on 1 February 1826 on the north coast of Guadeloupe.
