French ship Espérance (1781)
The ''Espérance'' was a ''Rhône'' class scow of the French Navy, launched in 1781 and later reclassified as a frigate. She earned fame as one of the ships of Bruni d'Entrecasteaux's expedition. The Australian town of Esperance was named after her. She was sold for breaking up in 1794.
== Career ==
''Espérance'' was built as ''Durance'' and served in de Grasse's squadron as a troopship. On 18 December 1782, she departed Toulon with the frigates ''Précieuse'' and ''Prosélyte'', and the corvette ''Poulette'', in a convoy bound for the Caribbean, that also included the fluyts ''Gracieuse'' and ''Rhône''.〔Roche, p.359〕
A decade later, on 29 September 1791, ''Espérance''under Captain Huon de Kermadec, and ''Recherche'' sailed from Brest to New Caledonia. They were on a mission under the command of Admiral d'Entrecasteaux in search of the explorer Lapérouse. The mission was unsuccessful: it was not until 1826 that the mystery of Laperouse's disappearance was solved.
