Comments: The sloop Active, bound from Virginia with a cargo of tobacco and flour, was captured by HM Sloop (or Brig/Armed Brigantine) Badger (Lieutenant Michael J. Everitt). She was captured between September 1777 and February 1778 and placement in November 1777 is arbitrary, although likely. Active was sent in to Jamaica.
