Portuguese corvette AURORA

Post by AvM »

She is mentioned as ex French corsiars of 20 guns purchased in Brazil.

"Tres Seculos na Mar" Vol 14/IV Parte/Corvetas/1° Volume
mentioned that she was very probably alredy in service in 1803,
but perhaps between 1810 and 1814, In 1816 10x18pdr and 2x6pdrs.
Broken up in Brazil 1819.

Very probably she was firstly brig rigged.

Any ideas about origins?
