The Batavier was a Dutch fourth-rate ship launched in 1779 as part of the navy of the Admiralty of Amsterdam, before being commissioned into the Batavian Navy after the French occupation of the Netherlands in 1795. Following the Battle of Camperdown between the Dutch and the English, the Batavier was surrendered to the British fleet on 20 August 1799 where it was refitted for use as a floating battery, before being used as a hospital ship at the Woolwich Dockyard from 1809 to 1817. The Batavier was finally used as a prison ship before being broken up in March of 1823.
