City of London (ship)

Several vessels have been named City of London for the City of London:

• City of London (1800 Indiaman) was launched as an East Indiaman. She made six voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) between 1800 and 1814 when she was taken up as a troopship for one voyage. She made one more voyage to India under a license from the EIC and then was broken up circa 1817.
• City of London (1801 ship) was launched in Newcastle. She spent most of her brief career sailing as a West Indiaman. A French privateer captured her in January or February 1806.
• SS City of London, 2560GRT, was launched in Glasgow in 1863 and was lost in 1881.
• SS City of London (1807), 8956GRT, was a commercial liner that the Admiralty commandeered for conversion to an Armed Merchant Cruiser in the Royal Navy. She was commissioned as HMS City of London on 8 January 1916. She was armed with eight 6" guns and two 6-pounder Anti-Aircraft guns. She escorted convoys across the Atlantic and also to Asia. On 6 September 1918 she was in a collision at 40°18′N 73°30′W with the United States's Naval Overseas Transport Service's ship Gold Shell. City of London was returned to her owners on 6 July 1819.
