	The opium clipper Waterwitch in the Hooghly River, Calcutta, painted by a Chinese artist about 1840. The barque Waterwitch was one of the most celebrated of the opium clippers which transported opium from India to China. Built in 1831 at Kidderpore, she was owned at first by a consortium of merchants, but by 1848 she was owned entirely by Lancelot and John Dent. She was one of the few vessels capable of making two voyages a year between India and China. her last voyage was from Calcutta to Hong Kong in May - June 1853; by the following March she was moored as a 'receiving ship' in the Min River, near Fuzhou.
