Barrosa (1811 Nantes ship)
Barrosa (or Barossa, or Barosa, or Barrossa) was launched at Nantes in 1810 under another name. She was purchased in 1811 as a prize, renamed, and her new owners sailed her as a West Indiaman. A French privateer captured and released her. A year later an American privateer captured her but the Royal Navy may have recaptured her.
