"Her petition 'to proceed to her husband in the Company's military service at Bengal, [and] also to take her daughter with her' was approved by the Court of Directors of the East India Company in London in June 1770. Recognizing her poverty, the directors excused her from 'payint the customary sum for permission'. No Company ships were available at this point, since East Indiamen normally only set out from England in the autumn and the spring. So she opted to travel on the Dolphin, an extremely fast, three-masted Royal Navy sloop, built in 1751 and with room for thirty-two guns. As M. and GM would have known, this was one of the first navy vessels to have its bottom sheathed with coppyer, a powerful barrier against the weeds and sea worms that accumulated on wooden-hulled ships and slowed them down."
