NB This would appear to be another of those vessels about which little or nothing is known, which would appear to have existed at about the same time as a cutter of the same name ? This one is mentioned in the Naval Chronicles, Vol. 1, circa p. 264, which also makes reference to the cutter, mentioned above, at Portsmouth, but whereas there are references to the above vessel elsewhere, at least at the present there appears to be little regarding this vessel elsewhere and she's not, as far as I can see, mentioned by Rif Winfield in his excellent book British Warships in the Age of sail, 1793-1817, but as mentioned before, the records for some Hired Vessels would appear to be sparse or even non-existant, except for passing references such as this one.
