HMS ''Cumberland'' was a schooner built in Port Jackson, Australia, in 1801.〔 〕 Acting Lieutenant Charles Robbins was captain of His Majesty's colonial schooner ''Cumberland'' when Charles Grimes used her to survey King Island and Port Phillip in early 1803.〔 She was purchased in 1803 to convey Matthew Flinders to England. However the poor condition of the vessel forced him to put into French-controlled Mauritius, where he and the ship were interned. It remained there when Flinders was released on 13 June 1810. Flinders left on the cartel ''Harriet'', bound for Bengal, but when she encountered , he transferred to her as she was carrying dispatches to the Cape. The Royal Navy captured ''Cumberland'' when they captured Mauritius in 1810. She returned to Royal Navy service and was sold that year.〔Winfield and Roberts (2015), p.256.〕 ==Citations and references== ;Citations ;References * * * *Winfield, Rif & Stephen S Roberts (2015) ''French Warships in the Age of Sail 1786 - 1861: Design Construction, Careers and Fates''.
