Other Ships Named HMS Venturer-- Part 1


From Wikipedia.

Seven ships have been named the HMS Venturer in the British Navy.

**  HMS VENTURER was a 14-gun cutter purchased by the British Navy in 1787 and named the HMS Ranger.  She was captured by the French in 1794, recaptured in 1797 and then briefly retaken but finally recaptured.  If you can figure this all out, you're doing better than me.

She was recommissioned as the HMS Venturer before being sold in 1803.

**  The second one was the HMS Venturer that I wrote about yesterday.  It was also the French privateer Nouvelle Enterprise.
