The Brigantine Sultana is a close replica of the original Sultana built in 1767 at the Benjamin Hollowell shipyards in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Sultana first distinguished herself as a dispatch carrier between the American colonies and other points in the North Atlantic. Later purchased by the Royal Navy, she continued to serve the British as an armed dispatch vessel for many years.
