}} | HMS Firebrand was the mercantile schooner Lord Lennox, a French prize taken in 1799 and renamed. In 1803 her master and owner was J.S. Lloyd, and her trade was London—Rouen.[3] The Royal Navy purchased her in 1804 for use as a fire ship but sold her in 1807. The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered Firebrand and several other vessels for sale on 17 March 1807 at Sheerness.[4] Citations and referencesCitations1. ^Winfield (2008), p.380.
