Notes: Lengthened and repaired 1786, other repairs 1797.
It is possible that this vessel was refloated and renamed L'ESPOIR, the dates and tonnages co-incide with Master Last, becoming the owner of L'ESPOIR, 'Tast'. Since this is tentative and may be co-incidental two records have been retained as separate ships.
