Bengalee was a three-masted merchant barque built in 1837 at Dumbarton. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1838 with Hamlin, master, Hamlin and Company, of Greenock, owners, and trade Clyde–Calcutta.^[2] Captain Thomas Hamlin did not allow the consumption of alcohol on his ship, thus it was known as a temperance ship.
