Flora was launched in July 1813 at Narsipore. Although she appears in a book listing all vessels that sailed for the British East India Company, or under a licence from it, she does not appear in Lloyd's Register's listing of vessels sailing under such licenses. Flora was sold in 1823 at Penang.[3]
