Maritime History

HMS Babet

HMS Babet was a 20-gun sixth-rate post ship of the Royal Navy. She was launched as Babet, a corvette of the French Navy, and was captured by the British navy at the action of 23 April 1794 during the War of the First Coalition. As HMS Babet, she captured several French privateers and other vessels, and fought at the Battle of Groix. She disappeared with all hands in the Caribbean in 1800, presumably having foundered during bad weather.
