Vittoria was launched at Whitby in 1813 as a transport. She transported migrants and troops to Canada. A new owner shifted her registration to London in December 1817. The new owner then employed her in trading with India under a license from the British East India Company. She was condemned at Calcutta and sold for breaking up in October 1820.
