Glatton (1762 EIC ship)

Glatton was launched as an East Indiaman. She made four voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) before her owners sold her in 1772. Her new owner, James Mather, renamed her Lord Howe and first deployed her to bring timber from North America to England. Mather then hired her out as a transport. She was last listed in 1782 and probably was the "ordinance storeship Lord Howe" that foundered in that year.

For other ships with the same name, see Glatton (EIC ship) and Lord Howe (ship).
