Diligence (1799 ship)

The Diligence was a merchant vessel built in France in 1799. She was captured by the British and sailed under British registry for many years. She primarily engaged in trade, particularly with the West Indies. Specific details regarding her dimensions, ownership, captains, and cargoes vary depending on the period and source consulted, and further research may be required to establish a definitive account of her entire operational history. Ship registers and Lloyd's List provide potential sources for additional information. Her eventual fate (e.g., shipwreck, sale for breaking, etc.) requires further investigation.
