HMS Venturer (HMS Theodosia)

From Wikipedia.

In the last post, I mentioned the HMS Nimrod (1799) capturing the French privateer Nouvelle Enterprise in 1807, and it being taken into the British Navy as the HMS Venturer  and later having its name changed to HMS Theodosia.

It was 72 feet long with a 20,5 foot beam.  55 crew members as the French privateer, and one 12-pdr gun and four carronades when captured.

Served in thee Mediterranean until 1814, when she was sold.  Was a merchant ship after that, but no records of her after 1822.

Commissioned in 1809 for service in the Mediterranean.

In early September 1812, she reportedly destroyed a 22-gun privateer.  In 1814, returned to England where crew was paid off.
