Dutch corvette Waakzaamheid

Waakzaamheid was a 24-gun corvette of the Dutch States Navy launched at Enkhuizen in 1786. The French Navy captured her in 1794 and renamed her Vigilance. As part of a French squadron, she raided British factories and merchantmen off the West African coast in 1794. By the next year, France overran the Dutch Republic and reorganised it into the client Batavian Republic, selling Vigilance to the newly formed Batavian Navy, who returned to using her original name. In the action of 24 October 1798, Waakzaamheid and the Batavian frigate Furie were captured near the Texel by the British frigate Sirius. The Royal Navy commissioned her as HMS Waaksaamheid before selling the ship in September 1802.
