} |} ''Locko'' was originally the French East Indiaman ''Modeste'', built in France. The Royal Navy captured ''Modeste'' in 1778, while she was on the return leg of her maiden voyage,〔 whereupon individuals associated with the British East India Company (EIC) purchased her. She entered the EIC's service in 1780, then performed three voyages for the EIC. On the first voyage she was present at the Battle of Porto Praya, and led an inconclusive attack by five merchant vessels on a French frigate. The second and third voyages were much less eventful. ''Locko''s owners disposed of her on her return in 1788 from her third voyage. ==Capture==
The French East Indiaman ''Modeste'' was returning to France from China in company with three other Indiamen when a gale on 25 September 1778 or so parted them. On 29 September, , Captain W. C. Finch, was on her way from Lisbon to England when she captured ''Modeste'' in the Bay of Biscay. ''Modeste'' was returning from China and richly laden. Her cargo, which consisted primarily of tea, was valued at £300,000, half of which was insured with English underwriters.〔''Annual Register of World Events: A Review of the Year 1778'', Vol. 21, pp.203-4.〕
