Britannia was launched at Plymouth in 1791. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1792 with J.Bignal, master, Moore & co., owners, and trade London–Plymouth.[1] A French privateer captured Britannia, Bignel, master, and burnt her in October 1793 as Britannia was sailing from London to Mogadore via Gibraltar.[2]
