Four vessels with the name ''Hastings'' have served the East India Company (EIC), one on contract as an East Indiaman, one brig of the Bombay Pilot Service, one ship of the line, and one frigate of the Company's Bombay Marine. *''Hastings'' was the Indiaman ''Northington'', that Simon Fraser purchased in 1780 when the EIC was done with it, and renamed.〔Hackman (2001), p.123.〕 She was of 676 or 693 tons (bm), 99 men, and 26 guns, when as ''Hastings'' she made one voyage for the EIC to St Helena and China between 1781 and 1783;〔National Archives:''Hastings'' (1),() - accessed 23 November 2014.〕 she was present at the Battle of Porto Praya. In 1783 she was sold for breaking up.〔 *''Hastings'' was a brig of 170 tons (bm) that the Bombay Dockyard launched in 1787 for the Bengal Pilot Service. In 1818 or 1820 the EIC sold her to local buyers. A fire in April 1823 destroyed her at Pulau Pasang, off Padang. * was a 74-gun third rate that the EIC launched in 1818, sailed to England, and sold to the Admiralty in 1819. The Royal Navy sold her in 1886.〔National Archives:Hastings (2),() - accessed 11 August 2015.〕 * The frigate ''Hastings'', of 566 tons (bm) was launched on 2 May 1821 by the Bombay Dockyard,〔Hackman (2001), p.332.〕 but not commissioned until the eve of the first Anglo-Burmese war, in which she served. She was pierced for 32 guns but mounted 24.〔Low (1877), pp. 298-9, & 411.〕 By 1838 she was at Bombay, serving as a receiving ship.〔Phipps (1840), pp.165 & 168.〕 See also: Warren Hastings (East Indiaman) ==Citations and references== ;Citations ;References *Hackman, Rowan (2001) ''Ships of the East India Company''.
