HMS Manly (or Manley), was originally the merchant ship Experiment, launched in 1792 at Leith. The British Royal Navy purchased her in 1797, used her as a gun-brig escorting convoys, and then sold her in 1802. New owners sailed her between London and Monserrat; she was last listed in 186. ExperimentExperiment entered Lloyd's Register in 1792 with J. Scougal, owner, G. Norris, master, and trade Leith–Saint Petersburg.[2] In 1797 Lloyd's Register still carried Experiment with J. Scougal, owner, and trade Leith–Saint Petersburg. Her master was W. Young.[3]HMS ManlyAfter the onset of war with France Britain's merchant fleet provided French, and later Dutch privateers with a target-rich environment. The British Royal Navy needed escort vessels and a quick fix was to buy existing merchant vessels, arm and man them, and then deploy them. Between March and April the Admiralty purchased 10 brigs at Leith, Experiment among them. The Royal Navy initially designated these as GB №__, but then gave them names before they actually sailed. The Royal Navy acquired Experiment in April 1797 at Leith and commissioned her as GB No.37 in May 1797 under the command of Lieutenant William Malone for the North Sea. She underwent fitting at Leith between May and August, and received her name on 7 August. She spent her brief naval career escorting convoys. After the Treaty of Amiens ended the war with France, the Admiralty in April 1802 gathered more than 20 of its gun-brigs and other small escort vessels at Sheerness and the Nore, and paid them off. It later sold them. The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered Manly, of 157 tons, lying at Sheerness, for sale on 12 December 1802.[4] She was sold that month.[1] ExperimentNew owners returned Experiment to her original name. The Register of Shipping carried stale data for a number of years, but then updated it. Experiment became a West Indiaman, trading with Monserrat. She last appears in the Register in 1816.
