On 30 September 1800 HMS Fisgard captured the Spanish naval brig Vivo, of fourteen 18-pounder carronades and with a crew of 100 men. She was two days out of Ferrol and carrying dispatches and orders to America. She threw the dispatches, etc., overboard during the chase.[lower-alpha 1] The Spanish brig "Vida", from Ferrol and prize to Fisgard, arrived at Plymouth on 9 October.[3] She was immediately laid up in ordinary. The British Royal Navy named and registered her, but never commissioned her.[1] The "Principal officers and commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered El Vroo for sale on 24 August 1801.[4] She sold on 7 September for £865 or £860.[1]
