HMS Tigress (1808)
HMS ''Tigress'' was the American merchantman ''Numa'' and then French letter of marque ''Pierre Cézar'' that the Royal Navy acquired by capture and put into service as the gunbrig ''Tigress''. She spent some time on the West African coast in the suppression of the slave trade. The Admiralty later renamed her as ''Algerine''. She was broken up in 1818.
==Merchantman==
''Tigress'' was originally launched around 1801 in Baltimore, Maryland, as the ''Numa''. There is a record of her taking a half dozen Irish passengers to the United States in 1803.
''Numa'' sailed in April 1808 from New York for Saint Barthélemy, which was then a Swedish colony, but arrived at Saint-Pierre, Martinique. There French merchants bought her and fitted her out as the letter-of-marque ''Pierre Cézar'' (equally ''Pierre César'' or ''Pierre Czar'' or ''Pierre Caesar'') and armed her with two 6-pounder guns and four 18-pounder carronades, though she was pierced for 18 guns.〔Chapelle (1967), 178.〕
On 29 May she sailed from Saint Pierre for L'Orient with a cargo of sugar, coffee, and cotton. One month later, on 29 June, the 40-gun frigate HMS ''Seine'' captured her after a four hour and twenty minute chase off the Spanish coast. ''Pierre Cézar'' was a fast sailer and her American mate claimed that the frigate would not have caught her had she not been overloaded.〔Chapelle (1967), 180.〕 ''Comet'', ''Unicorn'' and ''Cossack'' shared in the capture.
