Hercules was built in New England in 1792. She was an American East Indiaman that in 1796 the British East India Company (EIC) hired in India to carry rice from Bengal to England. She was wrecked in June 1796. Hercules appeared in the 1795 volume of Lloyd's Register. The EIC hired Hercules in Bengal to carry rice to England. She was carrying the rice on behalf of the British government, which was importing grain to address high prices for wheat in Britain following a poor harvest.(See also: Transport vessels for the British Government's importation of rice from Bengal (1795–1796))
