Eliza (1804 ship)
Eliza was a merchant ship built in British India, probably in 1804. (She may have been built in 1802 as Alert.) Between 1819 and 1831 she made five voyages transporting convicts from England and Ireland to Australia. In between, she also made one voyage for the British East India Company (EIC). Her crew abandoned her at sea in 1836 as she was leaking uncontrollably.
