Albicore, 1799
Notes:

12 Feb-30 Mar 1799 captured 1 merchant vessel whilst on the Jamaica station.

One wonders if this vessel might have been a tender to the flag ship, possibly a former privateer. During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars the flag ship at Port Royal had a history of using the ship's boats and suitable captured vessels as tenders to patrol the local waters for privateers and others up to no good. This not only was a means of occupying bored officers and men on board from time to time, but added a few coppers to their purses from the prize money that sometimes ensued. And I say coppers since being a tender in those days meant that the prize money would be spread across the whole ship's company of the flag ship - all the officers and all the men and boys, whether or not they were involved in the operation.
