Ganges was a brig launched at Bombay Dockyard for the Bengal Pilot Service,[2] of the British East India Company (EIC). (She is sometimes referred to as a schooner, but that is more a reference to her role than her sailing rig.) She was burnt in Saugor Roads on 11 January 1797,[1] or 11 January 1799.[3] The accidental fire spread to the powder magazine and the explosion killed eight men. Forty men took to her boat, and 59 to a hastily constructed raft. Six hours after the men took to the raft Laurel rescued all the survivors.[3]
