The hired armed ship ''Harlequin'' served the Royal Navy from 2 July 1804 until her wrecking on 7 December 1809.〔Winfield (2008), p.394.〕 She was of 185 bm tons burthen and carried an armament of ten 6-pounder guns, eight 12-pounder carronades and two swivel guns.〔 During her service with the Royal Navy ''Harlequin'' captured a number of prizes. ==Letter of Marque== The hired armed ship ''Harlequin'' probably was the ship ''Harlequin'' that received a letter of marque on 27 August 1803. Her master was John Dyer and her description on the warrant gave her tonnage as 180 tons burthen, her armament as twenty 6 and 12-pounder cannon, and her crew as consisting of 70 men.〔() Register of Letters of Marque against France 1793-1815〕 In late May the privateer ''Harlequin'', under the command of Captain Jenkins, arrived at Fowey from Oporto. She reported that while at Oporto in early 1804, ''Harlequin''s boat, with Captain Dyer and five other men, was swamped. A Portuguese boat rescued a Mr. Hall, but the other five were all drowned. Then in April, while she was off Cape Finisterre, she had repelled a French vessel but only after losing one man killed and nine wounded. Then on 9 May she had driven a French schooner of four carriage guns and 40 men ashore three leagues south of Viana where the schooner went to pieces.〔''The Times'', 30 May 1804, p.3, col. A.〕
