Active (1793 ship)

The Active was a merchant vessel built in France in 1793. Details of her early career are scarce. She was captured by the British and subsequently employed as a transport ship. The Active participated in several notable military expeditions. Information regarding her ultimate fate, such as whether she was wrecked, sold, or otherwise disposed of, remains largely undocumented, making it difficult to ascertain a precise end to her operational history. Existing records predominantly focus on her period of service under British control. Further research is needed to gain a complete understanding of her history both before and after her use as a British transport.
