HMS Resolution (1779)

HMS Resolution was a cutter purchased by the Royal Navy in 1779. She went missing in the North Sea in June 1797, presumed to have foundered.

On 10 November 1800 Captain Peter Halkett of HMS Apollo (1799) captured the Spanish sloop of war Resolution in the West Indies. She was armed with 18 guns and had a crew of 149 men, under the command of Don Francisco Darrichena. Halkett reported that she was the former Royal Navy cutter Resolution and that she was in such an irreparable state that after a few days he had her destroyed.

In 1802 a ship of this name was purchased for service as a Moravian Church mission ship. The only information on her held in the church archives states that she was "...a Spanish vessel ... captured and sold as a prize. She was bought by the Society either from the Navy, or from the captain who had been awarded the prize." She was sold by the missionary society in autumn 1808. Her ultimate fate is unknown.
