French ship Sophie (1790)

The French ship Sophie was a slave vessel launched at Nantes in May 1790. Her owners commissioned her there as a privateer in 1793 after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. The French Navy, desperate for escort vessels, requisitioned her 21 April 1794. In May 1795 the French Navy returned her to her owners for use as a privateer. HMS Endymion captured her off the Irish Coast in September 1798. The Royal Navy then took Sophie into service. She then served in the North Sea, Baltic, Mediterranean, and East Indies until she was broken up in 1809.
