which the French privateer Liberty, of Bordeaux, had captured. Robust sent Patriote Soldat into Dominica. Lloyd's List reported in March 1794 that Patriote Soldat, a prize to Robust, had arrived in Dominica. Captain Thomas Shaw replaced Forrest. Robust arrived at Kingston in May 1794 and landed 160 slaves. She left Kingston on 23 July and arrived back at Liverpool on 24 September. She had left with 52 crew members and she suffered 16 crew deaths on her voyage. Lloyd's Register for 1795 showed Robusts master changing from A. Forrest to T. Leece, her owner from J. Fisher to "Hnirson", and her trade from Liverpool–Africa to Liverpool–Southern Fishery. Robust underwent repairs in 1795. 1st southern whale fishery voyage (1795): Robert/Robust, Luce, master, was reported to have sailed in 1795, and to have been at Rio in November. 2nd southern whale fishery voyage (1796–1797): Captain T. Luce sailed from England in 1796 for the Pacific Ocean. Robust returned to England on 25 July 1797. Fate Lloyd's Register still listed Robust in 1798 with T. Luce, master, and J. Jones, owner. It gave her trade as Bristol-Southern Fishery. However, Robust does not appear in the reports of vessels' arrival and departure in 1797–1798 after her return from her second voyage.
