HMS Wilhelmina was a 20-gun troopship of the Royal Navy. She was originally the 36-gun Dutch States Navy frigate Wilhelmina, launched at Vlissingen in 1787. After France occupied the Dutch Republic and reorganised it into the Batavian Republic in 1795, Wilhelmina was renamed Furie and incorporated into the Batavian Navy. In the action of 24 October 1798, Furie and the Batavian corvette Waakzaamheid were intercepted by the British frigate Sirius while transporting supplies and French troops to support a rebellion against British rule in Ireland.
