Warren    Hastings

The Library of the Honourable East India Company Service is housed in the British Library in Euston, London. The HEICS library contains many thousands of records including hundreds of ships’ journals and logs, which are contained in large ledgers. A catalogue of these records was published 1999 by the British Library, titled ‘Catalogue of East India Company Ships’ Journals and Logs 1600-1834’ and edited by Anthony Farrington. Most have not been microfilmed. If a copy is required then a microfilm copy is made at the expense of the purchaser to whom a photostat is given.

Every attempt has been made to produce a faithful 'abridged' version copy of the Journal. A glossary along with explanatory notes have been added to help the reader to understand this transcript, nevertheless errors are possible owing to the difficulty of transcription. The Editors notes can be found throughout in italics set within square brackets.

A journal is a fascinating record of day-to-day events on board ship such as repairs, weather, washing decks, especially the gun deck where the men slept, discipline, embarking and disembarking and external events. The log records the men on board, their positions and whether or not they left ship or perished, the weather and location.

The Warren Hastings

This Warren Hastings was the fifth of that name to sail under the flag of the HEICS. It was a 1200-ton, well armed ship. The first recorded sailing was to the Cape and China in 1810 and the last recorded voyage was to China in 1824. The principal managing owner in 1810 was John Pascal Larkins and the captain was Gunter Lyde Browne. For the remaining four voyages, in 1815, 1818, 1822 & 1824, the principal owner was William Sims, while Richard Rawes was its captain.

*Prince of Wales Island was later Penang.

Captain, Rawes made several voyages to the far East. Although the main cargo would have been tea, Captain Rawes was also involved in bringing new varieties of plants back to England, notably Camellias, for his sister Elizabeth Palmer and brother-in-law Thomas Carey Palmer. The Palmer’s were plant collectors and lived at The Oakery, a large house near Bromley, Kent and within a short distance from the Rawes Academy, the home of Richard’s father and brother. In 1820 Richard was responsible for introducing the Camellia Reticulata from Canton into England. It was subsequently named ‘Captain Rawes’ in his honour. A memorial to Richard was to be found in Bromley church until the 2^nd World War when it was destroyed by enemy bombing.

Camellia Reticulata Captain Rawes

The website: 'www.uniklinik-saarland.de/med_fak/physiol2/camellia/document/curt_mon.htm' gives an indication of some of the activities of Captain Rawes and the Palmer's in their introduction and propogation of Camellias.

Richard Rawes, HEICS Ships’ Purser:-

It is to be noted that the Richard Rawes, ships’ purser was Captain Rawes’ friend, cousin and namesake. A memorial to this Richard was once to be found in the Parish church at Kendal.
