HMS Charlotte (1798)
HMS ''Charlotte'' was a mercantile schooner that Royal Navy hired or chartered in 1796 (or earlier), purchased in 1797 and commissioned in 1798. In her brief military career in the Caribbean she captured two small enemy privateers before she herself fell prey to a French privateer. The British recaptured her a little more than a year later but then broke her up in 1799 rather than recommissioning her.
==Cruising==
The Royal Navy armed ''Charlotte'' with eight 6-pounder guns and gave her a crew of 60 men. There are no records of any of her dimensions.〔 She was commissioned under Lieutenant John Williams. A letter from Commander James Athol Wood of reporting on the recapture of a vessel on 9 March 1796, states that he put "The Officers on Board the Charlotte Sloop, Lieutenant Williams...".
On 29 May 1797 ''Charlotte'' captured the French schooner ''Mort'', off Dominica. ''Mort'' was armed with four guns and had a crew of 36 men. She had not made any captures since leaving Guadeloupe.
On 9 September ''Charlotte'' captured the Dutch privateer ''Esle Andeneming'', of Surinam. ''Esle Andeneming'' was armed with eight guns and had a crew of 38 men. She was provisioned for a three-month cruise and was nineteen days out, not having captured anything, when ''Charlotte'' captured her off the Demerary river.
