Ann and Eliza (1789 ship)
Ann and Eliza was launched at Calcutta in December 1789. She was the sixth vessel registered at Calcutta and the cost of her hull, masts, and copper sheathing was Rupees34,000.[1] Ann and Eliza, Haldane, master, was lost in 1795 at Algoa Bay while on a voyage from Bengal to the Cape of Good Hope.[2] The British East India Company (EIC) had engaged her in Bengal to carry stores to His Majesty's troops at the Cape. The EIC charged the loss to "His Majesty's Government".[3][Note 1]

- The EIC gave the year of her loss as 1797, but the preponderance of the evidence is consistent with the November 1795 date.

gollark: Hmm, this is a possible concern I guess.
gollark: There might be helpers for that in the standard library, which this would actually have.
gollark: I would probably also drop forms since their functionality is fairly easy to replicate with the scripting capabilities.
gollark: Oh, and in terms of arbitrary preferences, I'd probably make some of the web APIs more functional programming™️ instead of using objects; instead of `URL` objects, you would just have a `parseURL` function returning a table of URL components, and `serializeURL` function... unparsing it.
gollark: Well, also the web is gigantically complicated and there's no hope of dislodging it.
