} |} HMS ''Capelin'' was a Royal Navy ''Ballahoo''-class schooner carrying 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 1804.〔Winfield (2008), p.359.〕 Like many of her class and the related ''Cuckoo''-class schooners, she succumbed to the perils of the sea relatively early in her career. ==Career== In May 1804 she was commissioned under Lieutenant Archibald McDonald (or M'Donald; acting) for the Halifax station.〔 On 20 December 1806 he faced a court martial for his conduct after ''Capelin'' had run aground while under his command. The court decided that the charge was partly proven and so reprimanded him. It also ruled that he forfeit all seniority on the lieutenants' list. Still, McDonald was promoted to lieutenant on 22 December 1806 and commanded ''Capelin'' until February 1807.〔O'Byrne (1849), p.693.〕〔''Naval Chronicle'', Vol. 16 (1806), p.514.〕 At some point, possibly in 1806, Lieutenant J. Beckett may have commanded her for a short period.〔 〕 In 1807 ''Capelin'' was off Le Havre and under Lieutenant Thomas Delafons. On 11 August the ship ''Georgetown'' and the brig ''Robert'' arrived in Malta. A Spanish privateer had captured them off Sicilly, but ''Capelin'' had retaken them.〔''Lloyd's List'',() - accessed 25 November 2013.〕 Lieutenant Josias Bray replaced Delafons and took command on 13 January 1808.〔 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 Capelin (1804)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
