Fanny was a merchant ship built on the River Thames, England in 1810. She was a West Indiaman but made one voyage transporting convicts from England to Australia. On her return she reverted to trading with the West Indies. She was last listed in 1822.
Career
Fanny appears in Lloyd's Register in 1810 with Blackburn, master, Chalmers, owner, and trade London–Martinique.[2]
Under the command of John Wallis and surgeon William McDonald, she departed The Downs on 25 August 1815 and arrived in Sydney on 18 January 1816.[3] She embarked 174 male convicts and there were three convict deaths en route.[4]

Fanny sailed from Port Jackson on 2 March 1816, bound for Batavia.[5] She must have returned because she sailed from Port Jackson for the last time on 30 March 1817, bound for Batavia.[6]
Neither Lloyd's Register nor the Register of Shipping published in 1817. Although Fanny does not appear in the 1818 volumes, she reappears in the 1819 volume of the Register of Shipping with Campbell, master, Chalmers, owner, and trade London–Jamaica.[7]
Fanny, Campbell, master, was on her way from Trinidad to Liverpool when she put into St Thomas's on 3 June 1818 in a leaky condition. She unloaded her cargo but reportedly only required re-caulking and was expected to resume her voyage around 26 June.[8]
Fanny is last listed in 1822.
