HMS Forward (1805)
HMS ''Forward'' was a 12-gun gun-brig of the ''Archer'' class of the British Royal Navy.
==History==
She was built under contract by Joseph Todd of Berwick and launched in January 1805.
On 23 April 1808, during the Gunboat War, the ''Forward'' towed three boats from the ''Daphne'' and two from the ''Tartarus'', in an attack on ten laden vessels, moored at Flodstrand in Denmark. Despite coming under artillery and musket fire from a fortification, the vessels were successfully spirited away, with five men wounded in the action.
During the War of 1812, she was present off the Gulf Coast. The ''Forward'' and a transport were the last remaining vessels in the vicinity of the British Post at Prospect Bluff, and were used to spirit away the last of the garrison, whom were embarked on 16 May.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Marines on the Gulf Coast )〕 Edward Nicolls, Woodbine, and the Redstick Creek leader Josiah Francis, arrived at Amelia Island, in East Florida on 7 June 1815, where rumours circulated that the officers were seeking to either obtain British possession of Florida from Spain, or at least to arm and supply the Florida factions resisting American territorial expansion. (In fact, Nicolls had been heading to the Bahamas, and had unintentionally ended up in Florida.〔Letter from Nicolls to Anthony St. John Baker, HM Chargé D'Affaires, Washington dated 12 June 1815, written at Amelia Island. This is within WO 1/143 folios 168-169, commencing on page 118 of 143 which can be downloaded for a fee from the (UK National Archives website ) 'I had intended to write to you from the Bahamas ... but being obliged to put in here in distress'〕)The Forward arrived in Bermuda, and disembarked her passengers on 28 June. Edward Nicolls embarked the brig HMS ''Forward'' on 29 June 'for passage to England', and disembarked at Portsmouth on 13 September 1815.
