The EIC hired Hercules in Bengal to carry rice to England.[2] 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.
Hercules sailed from Calcutta on 17 March 1796. On 16 June she wrecked at Kaffraria, on the East Coast of Africa, north of the Cape of Good Hope.Шаблон:Sfnp Thirteen of her crew drowned; the survivors reached the Cape.[3] Captain Stout later wrote an account of his adventures,Шаблон:Sfnp though much of his account of the region through which he travelled came in for criticism as being a fabrication.[4] The EIC charged the loss of the cargo to "His Majesty's Government".Шаблон:Sfnp
