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. Captain Thomas Hamlin did not allow the consumption of alcohol on his ship, thus it was known as a temperance ship.
