HMS Pelican (1812)
HMS ''Pelican'' was an 18-gun ''Cruizer''-class brig-sloop of the Royal Navy, launched in August 1812. She is perhaps best known for her capture of the brig the in August 1813. When the navy sold ''Pelican'' in 1865 she was the last ''Cruizer''-class vessel still in service.
==War of 1812==
''Pelican'' was commissioned under Commander John Fordyce Maples on 11 December 1812 for the Irish station. On 5 May 1813 ''Pelican'' captured the American schooner ''Neptune's Barge''. ''Neptune's Barge'' had been sailing from Connecticut to Santiago de Cuba. ''Pelican'' sent her into Jamaica.
''Pelican'' was engaged in convoy escort duty to and from Britain. On 10 August 1813 she arrived in Cork, Ireland, having escorted a convoy from the West Indies. At the time the ''Argus'' was raiding in British waters and two days later ''Pelican'' sailed to join the hunt for the American. On 14 August ''Pelican'' engaged ''Argus'' off St David's Head on the Pembrokeshire coast. After an engagement lasting 45 minutes ''Pelican'' was in a position to board, at which point ''Argus'' struck her colours and surrendered. ''Pelican'' had lost two men killed and five wounded; Fordyce estimated American losses as 40 killed and wounded. In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Pelican 14 Augt. 1813" to the four surviving claimants from the action.
