St Vincent was a hired armed cutter that served the Royal Navy from 16 March 1798 to 29 April 1802, during the French Revolutionary Wars.
She returned on 20 August with a prize, the Danish galiot Friendship, laden with merchandise and bound for Lisbon from Amsterdam.
On 25 August, the 74-gun Impétueux, the 28-gun frigate Brilliant, 16-gun ship-sloop Cynthia and the 14-gun hired cutter St Vincent silenced a battery that was armed with eight 24-pounders.
Then seamen from the ships landed to assist a large force of army troops to haul the guns up to the heights.
