} |} HMS ''Bream'' was a Royal Navy ''Ballahoo''-class schooner of four 12-pounder carronades and a crew of 20. The prime contractor for the vessel was Goodrich & Co., in Bermuda, and she was launched in 1807.〔Winfield (2008), p.359.〕 ''Bream'' operated primarily in North American waters and had an uneventful career until the War of 1812. She then captured two small American privateers and assisted in the recovery of a third, much larger one. She also captured a number of small prizes before she was sold or broken up in 1816. ==Napoleonic Wars== She was commissioned in March 1807 under Lieutenant Augustus Vere Drury at Halifax.〔〔 In April Sub-Lieutenant George Gover Miall, the commander of the schooner ''Chebuctoo'', was ordered to act as Lieutenant-Commander of the ''Bream''.〔''Chebuctoo'' was probably a colonial government vessel.〕 Miall sailed ''Bream'' to the Leeward Islands.〔Drury was appointed to the cutter ''Sylvia'' on 3 July. Miall was confirmed as a Lieutenant on 11 April 1808.〕 While ''Bream'' was in the Chesapeake Bay a mutiny broke out that Lieutenant Bartholomew George Smith Day helped suppress.〔O'Byrne (1849).〕 Miall removed to ''Duguay Trouin'' on 15 June 1809.〔 On 15 July 1809, Lieutenant Henry Dilkes Byng took command, serving in ''Bream'' until October when Sir John Borlase Warren appointed him to command ''Goree'', then in Halifax. He was confirmed in the command on 12 December.〔 His replacement, in January 1810, was Lieutenant Robert Heriot Barclay.〔 On 17 August 1810 her commander became (acting) Lieutenant John Simpson.〔He was confirmed 14 December 1811.〕 At some point in 1810, a Lieutenant Pollard may have assumed command for a short while.〔 〕 While in ''Bream'', Simpson carried specie to St. John's, Newfoundland and was frozen up at Louisburg, Cape Breton, which materially harmed his health.〔 On 14 November 1811 Simpson was promoted to Lieutenant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Bream (1807)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
