Admiral Laforey was a French prize captured in 1796 that entered Lloyd's Register in 1797 with R. Smith, master, and Brickwood, owner. [1] She originally sailed between London and Martinique. She then became a London-based transport in 1800, and her master became J. Henderson. Her owner became Deverin, and then Dixon by 1801 when she was lost. Lloyd's List reported on 3 November 1801 that she had been lost at Shoeburyness while on her way from Portsmouth to London. Crew and material had been saved. [3] Her entry in the Register of Shipping for 1802 is marked "LOST". [2]
