Ship's plan of Forth

From June 1813 to 1815 Forth came under the command of Captain Sir William Bolton in The Downs and later in the year off the Scheldt, with a spell under Sir Edward Codrington in 1814–1815. During service off North America in the War of 1812 under Captain Bolton, the American privateer brig Regent was captured on 19 Sep 1914 in Little Egg Harbor.[1][2]

From February 1816 until July 1819 Forth came under the command of Admiral Sir John Louis, 2nd Baronet, after undergoing a refitting first as a flagship and subsequently as a fourth rate frigate at Chatham.[3][1]
