Her contract lasted from 27 April 1804 to 30 October 1812.[3] She spent her entire naval career escorting convoys to the Baltic. She became a transport that an American privateer captured in March 1814.

Notes

  1. A first-class share of the prize money awarded in April 1823 was worth £34 2s 4d; a fifth-class share, that of a seaman, was worth 3s 11½d. The amount was small as the total had to be shared between 79 vessels and the entire army contingent.[2]
