HMS Acheron (1803)
HMS ''Acheron'' was the mercantile ''New Grove'', launched at Whitby in 1799, that the Admiralty purchased in 1803 and fitted as a bomb-vessel. She served in the Mediterranean for about a year. On 3 February 1805 she and were escorting a convoy from Malta to England when they encountered two French frigates. ''Arrow'' and ''Acheron'' were able to save the majority of the vessels of the convoy by their resistance before they were compelled to strike. ''Arrow'' sank almost immediately after surrendering, and ''Acheron'' was so badly damaged that the French burnt her. However, the British vessels' self- sacrifice enabled almost all the vessels of the convoy to escape.
==Mercantile career==
''New Grove'' first appears in ''Lloyd's Register'' in 1801, with owner T. Brown and T. Lacey, master. She was in the London - Jamaica trade. During the year she received a new master, J. Barclay, and Suriname as her destination. Thereafter she remained under Barclay's command, and in the Jamaica trade until Brown sold her to the Admiralty in October 1803.
