Other Vessels
- "His Majesty's armed defence ship Indefatigable", under the command of George Andrews, recaptured the Melcombe on 21 June 1804. This Indefatigable appears to have been an hired armed ship that served between 1804 and 1805, though one source has her having been purchased in 1804 and sold in 1805. A later source does not list her at all, neither as a purchase nor as a hired vessel.
- In fiction: The Indefatigable (aka "The Indie") was one of the key ships in the Horatio Hornblower series of novels by C. S. Forester.

Famous quotes containing the word vessels:
“So near along life’s stream are the fountains of innocence and youth making fertile its sandy margin; and the voyageur will do well to replenish his vessels often at these uncontaminated sources.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Just as bones, tissues, intestines, and blood vessels are enclosed in a skin that makes it possible to bear the sight of a human being, so the agitations and passions of the soul are wrapped up in vanity: it is the soul’s skin.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
