Prince Regent, Canadian Provincial Marine

From Wikipedia.

This was another ship with the same name as the HMS Prince Regent, but served with the Canadian Provincial Marine.

16-gun ship launched 1812 for the Canadian Provincial Marine.  Re-rigged as a schooner and renamed Beresford (or General Beresford) in 1813.

Re-rigged as a brig and renamed HMS Netley in 1814 when the Royal Navy took over the Provincial Marine.  It was the Admiralty's policy not to name a vessel after living people.

In 1848, it was renamed the HMS Niagara while serving as a base ship. Later broken up.
