Hired armed cutter Brave

His Majesty's Hired armed cutter "Brave" served the British Royal Navy from 29 August 1798 until 22 April 1799, when the transport "Eclipse" ran her down off Beachy Head. "Brave" is sometimes described as a lugger and sometimes as a cutter.
During her brief service with the Royal Navy "Brave"′s captain was Lieutenant Gardiner Henry Guion (or John Guion or Guyon or Gunion). On 21 January 1799 "Brave" captured "Jemmy Nosten". Then on 3 March "Brave", together with the hired armed cutter "Lord Nelson", captured "Baron Von Hopkin" and "Sverige Lycka". 
On 22 April while "Brave" was escorting a convoy through the English Channel, the transport "Eclipse" ran her down and sank her. "Brave's" crew was saved.
On 13 September 1804 prize money for "Baron Von Hopkin" and "Sverige Lycka" was paid.
