Bengal (East Indiaman) – one of at least two vessels by that name that sailed for the British East India Company (EIC). HMIS Bengal (J243) was a Bathurst-class corvette of the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) that served during the Second World War. Bengal Merchant – one of at least three vessels of that name
The first of these vessels bought by the APA was the Star of Russia. The company liked the naming pattern used for the Star Line's ships so much that it used this pattern for the naming of its other vessels, naming them Star of Alaska, Star of Finland, etc. By 1930, most of the sailing ships were replaced with steam or diesel powered ships.
