HMS Grinder (1809)
''Grinder'' was a gunboat serving as a tender, rather than a commissioned warship, to , the British garrison on the island of Anholt during the Gunboat War. ''Grinder''s origins are obscure, but the Danes captured her in 1810 and the British recaptured her in 1811. She was sold in 1832.
==Prelude - capture of Anholt==
On 18 May 1809, the 74-gun third rate HMS ''Standard'', under Captain Askew Hollis, led in a squadron that also included the frigate ''Owen Glendower'', and the four smaller ships , , and . Together they captured the island. A landing party of seamen and marines under the command of Captain William Selby of ''Owen Glendower'', with the assistance of Captain Edward Nicolls of the ''Standard''s marines, landed. The Danish garrison of 170 men put up a sharp but ineffectual resistance that killed one British marine and wounded two; the garrison then surrendered. The British took immediate possession of the island.〔
