The Sinking of HMS ''Avon'' was a single ship action fought during the War of 1812, and took place on 1 September 1814. In the battle, the ship-rigged sloop of war forced the to surrender. The Americans could not take possession of the prize as other British brig-sloops appeared and prepared to engage. ''Avon'' sank shortly after the battle. ==Prelude== The heavy sloop of war USS ''Wasp'' had spent seven weeks in Lorient in France, making repairs after an earlier hard-fought action against HMS ''Reindeer'', and replacing casualties from the crews of American privateers in the port. ''Wasp'' sortied on 27 August, and almost immediately was involved in action. Early on 1 September, a convoy of ten merchant ships escorted by the ship of the line was encountered. ''Wasp'' made repeated attacks and succeeded in capturing one ship loaded with iron, brass and arms.〔Roosevelt, pp.181-182〕 Later that day, as night was falling, Master Commandant Johnston Blakely, commanding ''Wasp'', spotted four other unknown sail, and made for the nearest.
