HMS Oroonoko
Two vessels of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Oroonoko'', after the Orinoco:
*HMS ''Oroonoko'' was the ''Courser''-class gun-brig HMS ''Steady'', which was renamed ''Oroonoko'' in 1805 when she was converted to a temporary prison ship at Trinidad. She was sold in 1806 at Barbados.〔Winfield (2008), p.332.〕
* was the French privateer ''Eugène'', which the Royal Navy bought in 1805 to replace the previous ''Oroonoko'' at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. She was sold in 1814.〔Winfield (2008), p.402.〕 This ''Eugène'' may have been the sloop sailing from Bordeaux to New Orleans that captured at some point between 22 March and 3 May 1805 and sent into Jamaica.〔''Naval Chronicle'', (Jul-Dec 1805), Vol. 14, p.352.〕 There is another possible candidate. On 19 April 1805, a privateer ''Eugène'', commanded by a Joseph Sires and reportedly owned in Havana and New Orleans, captured the American sloop ''George'' and looted it, after having threatened her captain, Read, with death if he did not sign papers declaring the ''George'' to be British, as well as a draft for US$1000 drawn on Mr. Grinberry, ''George''s owner, representing ransom for the vessel and her cargo. They then put on board the ''George'' Captain James Newell and seven seamen from the ''Benjamin'', of New York. Read then sailed ''George'' to Havana. ''Eugène'' had also captured an American schooner sailing from Port-au-Prince with a cargo of coffee.〔''The Balance, and Columbian repository'', (1805), Vol. 4, No. 23, p. 183.〕
