About Lapwing
Three ships named Lapwing have served the British East India Company (EIC) as packet ships. The packets were much smaller than the great East Indiamen. The packets' primary role was to carry dispatches quickly back and forth between London and the company's headquarters in Bengal and on the Coromandel Coast. The packets did also carry some cargo and passengers.Lapwing - a fast sailing packet launched in 1743 that made five voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) before she was condemned in 1751 as unfit for further service.
