From the Cumberland Pacquet newspaper, Tuesday, 8th September, 1816
:
"Wednesday last, a fine new brig was launched from
Messrs.Smith
and Co.'s yard at Skerton, near Lancaster, called Active, 173

burthen, and commanded by Captain Bragg."
The Active existed first in the trade to South America from
Liverpool,
and then in the 1830's between Glasgow and the West Indies. She
ended her career owned in Anglesey, and had disappeared from Lloyd's
Register after 1850.
