HMS Advice was the second of a class of two schooner-rigged advice-boats of the Royal Navy. Advice was launched in 1800 and commissioned in January 1801 under Lieutenant William Robertson, for Jersey. In August 1802 she came under the command of Lieutenant Joseph Nourse, who sailed her for Trinidad. On 4 August 1803, Nourse, now a Commander, took command of Cyane. Advice is last listed in July 1804. She was probably sold in 1805.[1]
