Hired armed lugger Royalist
The hired armed lugger Royalist served the Royal Navy from 1798 to 1800 and she was armed with eight guns.[1] She may have been built in 1798.[2]
Royalist apparently served at Jersey with Aristocrat and Daphne in a small squadron under the command of Commodore Philippe d'Auvergne in Bravo. Royalist's commander, as of 1 January 1799, was Lieutenant Jackson Dowsing.[2] He had earlier served on the same station and in the same role on Repulse.
