HMS ''Peruvian'' was an 18-gun launched in 1808 at Parson's Yard, Warsash, England. She was the first naval vessel built at that yard. ''Peruvian'' captured two American privateers and participated in an expedition up the Penobscot River during the War of 1812. Then she claimed Ascension Island for Great Britain in 1815. She was broken up in 1830. ==Napoleonic Wars== Commander Francis Douglas commissioned her in May 1808 for the Downs.〔Winfield (2008), p.299.〕 Douglas had been first lieutenant of HMS Repulse (1780) at the mutiny at The Nore in 1797.〔(Commander Francis Douglas ), douglashistory.co.uk, accessed 15 August 2011〕 On 19 February 1809 ''Peruvian'' was in company with the sloop ''Osprey'' when ''Osprey'' captured the ''Vrouw Gesina''. In May ''Peruvian'' captured the ''Commerce'', Rook, master, and sent her into The Downs.〔''Lloyd's List'',() - accessed 16 December 2013.〕 Then on 14 January 1810 ''Peruvian'' sailed for the Leeward Islands. Three days later ''Peruvian'' was in sight, and so entitled to share, together with a number of other vessels, in the prize money arising from the recapture of the ''Toms'' by ''Hyperion''. In November 1810 Commander Francis Dickinson took command, but he died on 23 April 1812.〔 ==War of 1812== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Peruvian (1808)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
