Hastings was a brig of 170 tons (bm) that the Bombay Dockyard launched in 1785,[2] or 1787,[1] for the Bengal Pilot Service.[2] In 1818 the EIC sold her to local buyers.[2] 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,[3] while she was at Pulau Pasang, off Padang.[2]
