Air Balloon (ship)

Several ships have been named Air Balloon for the Montgolfier Brothers' 1783 hot air balloon:

Air Balloon (1784 ship) was launched in 1784 at Yarmouth as a coaster. She was captured in 1797. She then disappeared from United Kingdom records until 1824. She was almost rebuilt in 1825, only to suffer a major maritime incident in 1826. She was refloated and resumed sailing, but was wrecked in 1829.
Air Balloon (1784 Hull ship) was launched in 1784 at Hull. She traded between Hull and Petersburg until a French privateer captured her in 1797.
