Summary
Hastings was a brig that the Bombay Dockyard launched in 1785 or 1787 for the Bengal Pilot Service.[1] In 1818, the EIC sold her to local buyers.[2] Alternatively, in May 1818 she was converted to a buoy vessel; in 1819 she appeared as a buoy vessel on a list of pilot vessels at Calcutta with J.F. Twisden, master.[4] She was sold on 11 October 1820. A fire destroyed her on the night of 17 April 1823,[5] while she was at Pulau Pasang, off Padang.[2]
