HMS ''Vesta'' was an ''Adonis''-class schooner of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic War. She was built at Bermuda using Bermudan cedar and completed in 1806. She appears to have had an astonishingly uneventful decade-long career before the Admiralty sold her in 1816. ==Career== ''Vesta'' was commissioned in August 1806 under the command of Lieutenant George Maule for the North America station. In November 1807 Lieutenant Charles Crowdy assumed command. His replacement in June 1808 was Lieutenant George Mends.〔 Lieutenant George Miall replaced Mends in July 1809. In 1810, Lieutenant William Bowen Mends briefly commanded ''Vesta'' before Miall returned to command.〔Mends (1899), p.350.〕 Between 18 June and 5 July 1811, ''Vesta'' underwent repairs at Plymouth.〔 On 30 December ''Vesta'' and captured the ''Princess de Beira'' (or ''Princess Beira'').〔 Then on 13 January 1812, ''Vesta'' and ''Sabrina'' captured the ''Pepe'' slave schooner off the coast of Africa. Almost two years later, on 1 October 1813, ''Vesta'' recaptured the Spanish brig ''St. Francisco de Assis''. 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 Vesta (1806)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
