HMS Halifax (1768)
HMS ''Halifax'' was a schooner built for merchant service at Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1765 that the British Royal Navy purchased in 1768 for coastal patrol in North America in the years just prior to the American Revolution. She is one of the best documented schooners from early North America.
==Packet ship==
The schooner was built by a group of Halifax merchants with government support as the ''Nova Scotia Packet'', to establish a reliable packet service of mail and passengers between Halifax and Boston in 1765. The managing owner was, Joseph Grey, the son in law of the commissioner of the Halifax Naval Yard where the schooner was likely built.〔Trevor Kenchington, "The Navy's First Halifax", ''Argonauta'', Canadian Nautical Research Society, Vol. X, No. 2 (April 1993), p. 9〕 Launched in late September 1765, the schooner made her first voyage on 15 October 1765 under the command of Benjamin Green Jnr.〔''Halifax Gazette'', October 17, 1765〕 Weather permitting, the packet sailed every eight days between Halifax and Boston and made 23 round trips during her merchant career. In July 1768, the ''Nova Scotia Packet'' was chartered by Commodore Samuel Hood in Halifax to take dispatches to Portsmouth, England. Hood also recommended that the schooner be purchased by the British Royal Navy.〔Trevor Kenchington, "The Navy's First Halifax", ''Argonauta'', Canadian Nautical Research Society, Vol. X, No. 2 (April 1993), p. 10〕
