Hastings (1787 ship)

Hastings was a brig of 170 tons (bm) that the Bombay Dockyard launched in 1785, or 1787, for the Bengal Pilot Service. In 1818 the EIC sold her to local buyers. Alternatively, in May 1818 she was converted to a buoy vessel, but was sold on 11 October 1820. A fire destroyed her on the night of 17 April 1823, while she was at Pulau Pasang, off Padang.
