HMS Braak (1795)
HMS ''Braak'' was an 18-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She was launched at Rotterdam in 1781 and initially served with the Dutch Republic. The British seized her, in Britain, after the Dutch entry into the French Revolutionary Wars, and took her into the Royal Navy. She served briefly with the British before capsizing off the North American coast. She was subsequently the focus of a number of salvage efforts.
==Dutch career==
The cutter ''De Braak'' was launched as a "botter",〔 or vessel of the 8th Charter.〔 Sources also give her name as ''Baak'',〔 or ''Brak''.〔van Maanen, p.7.〕 She was part of a Mediterranean fleet based at the French port of Toulon.
By the 1790s she was in the Caribbean, and was present at the defence of Willemstad, part of the Dutch colony at Curaçao, against the French in 1793. By late 1794 she was ordered to escort a convoy of East Indiamen to Batavia. En route she called at the English port of Falmouth, unaware that the French had since invaded the Netherlands and proclaimed the Batavian Republic, as a client state, compelling them to declare war on the British. On their arrival at the port the Royal Navy seized the 26 merchantmen, and six warships of the convoy, including the ''De Braak''. Officials from the sloop took over the ''De Braak''.〔 Forty-six vessels of the Royal Navy that were at Plymouth shared in the prize money.
