Dispatch was built in Bermuda in 1784, and came to England possibly as early as 1786. In 1792, she made a voyage as a slave ship carrying slaves from Africa to the West Indies in the triangular trade in enslaved people. She was then briefly a privateer before returning to the slave trade. The French captured her in 1795, while she was on her third slave trading voyage.
