Thisbe was first commissioned in December 1787 under the command of Captain George Robertson. Because Thisbe served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal that the Admiralty authorized in 1850 to all surviving claimants.[a]
In 1804 Thisbe was in the Mediterranean. There she captured a privateer that she sent into Corfu. Thisbe also recaptured Wight, Ford, master, which had been sailing from Zant to London when the privateer had captured her. Wight arrived at Portsmouth in September.[3]
