HMS Dolphin (1813)
HMS ''Dolphin'' was the 12-gun American privateer schooner ''Dolphin'' Admiral John Borlase Warren's squadron captured on 13 April 1813 and took into service. As HMS ''Dolphin'' she participated in boat actions on 29 April and 5 May 1813 for which the Royal Navy issued a clasp for the Naval General Service Medal.〔Dudley (1992), Vol.2, p.339.〕 Her ultimate fate is currently undocumented.
==Privateer==
''Dolphin'' had been an American privateer and had carried Baltimore's privateering commission No. 2.〔Gardiner (1998).〕 Under Captain W.S. Stafford, on 26 July 1812 she captured a British vessel valued at US$18,000, and in August she captured the schooner ''Fanny'', valued at a similar amount.〔Scharf (1881), p.105.〕 In the same month she captured the schooner ''James'', which she sent into port, and destroyed several doggers.〔 Next she captured and sent into Baltimore the ''John Hamilton'', of 10 guns and 30 men, laden with several hundred tons of mahogany.〔
She had had an unsuccessful cruise of two months before on 25 January 1813 she captured the ''Hebe'',〔 of 16 guns and 25 men and the brig ''Three Brothers'' of ten guns and 25 men.〔Maclay (1968), pp.465-7.〕 These two vessels, though heavily armed, had too few crew to man even a broadside. Captain W.A. Brigham of ''Hebe'' was wounded by a musket ball and later injured by a powder explosion. ''Dolphin'' had four men wounded and the British 10, including Brigham.〔 The British recaptured ''Hebe'' before she could reach America.〔 ''Dolphin'' returned to Baltimore on 13 February.
In all, as a privateer, ''Dolphin'' had captured 11 British vessels. One had been burned at sea and another (''Hebe'') recaptured. However, nine had been brought safely back to the United States.〔
