Bengalee (ship)


Bengalee was a three-masted merchant barque built in 1837 at Dumbarton. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1838 with Hamlin, master, Hamlin and Company, of Greenock, owners, and trade Clyde–Calcutta. Captain Thomas Hamlin did not allow the consumption of alcohol on his ship, thus it was known as a temperance ship.

Voyages

Bengalee was driven ashore on 23 October 1851 and broke her back at Saugor. Her crew abandoned her. She was on a voyage from Calcutta to Genoa, Kingdom of Sardinia.
