Clyde was launched at Calcutta in 1802 and cost sicca rupees 76,000 to build. Captain George McCall sailed her from Calcutta on 18 February 1802, bound for London, on a voyage for the British East India Company. She reached Saint Helena on 12 May (and left on 23 May), and arrived at Blackwall on 22 July.[3] She was admitted to the Registry of Great Britain on 5 August 1802.[6] Clyde entered Lloyd's Register in 1802 with G.
