'''''Reliance''''' was launched at Coringa in 1815. She sailed east of the [[Cape of Good Hope]] until c.1827 when she sailed to England and assumed British registry. Once in Britain she sailed back and forth to Bengal under a license from the British [[East India Company]] (EIC). She also twice [[transportation (punishment)|transported]] military [[convicts]] to New South Wales from Bengal. In 1832 Bennett sent ''Reliance'' on a whaling voyage to the Pacific. After she returned she sailed on a second whaling voyage, but this time to the Indian Ocean where she wrecked at the end of 1836.

==Career==
In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a license from the EIC.{{sfnp|Hackman|2001|p=247}} Even so, ''Reliance'' did not enter ''[[Lloyd's Register]]'' (''LR'') until 1827.<ref name=LR1827>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015065537840?urlappend=%3Bseq=741 ''LR'' (1827), Supple. pages "R", Seq.№R34.]</ref>
