HMS Grecian (1814)
Grecian was an American schooner launched in 1812. During the War of 1812 she received a letter of marque. The Royal Navy captured her on 5 February 1814 and took her into service as HMS ''Grecian''. She was sold in 1822.
==American service==
Thomas Kemp of Baltimore designed ''Grecian'' with several innovations. She was pierced for 20 guns, though she never carried that many, and her gunports were unique, designed perhaps to save weight.〔 She had a long, curving stem, and a shallow, less convex bow.
''Grecian''s first captain was James Phillips, and under him she had made one voyage to France.〔Cranwell and Crane (1940), p.186.〕
She received letter of marque No. 944 in December 1813,〔 under Captain Knapp. She had not captured anything before the boats of cut her out under the guns of a battery field pieces on East River, in Chesapeake Bay on 2 May 1814. The British cutting out party under Lieutenant West, first lieutenant of ''Jaseur'', rowed up silently in the night, drove Knapp and the seven members of the crew on watch below deck, fastened the hatches, cut her cables, and sailed off.〔
