Wrecksite.com. and Family Tree Service site.
First, I'll start on some previous HMS Laurels operating during the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812.
HMS LAUREL, a fourth-rate frigate built 1806 and wrecked in the West Indies Oct. 1813.
The seventh HMS LAUREL was a 22-gun, sixth rate frigate launched 1806 and captured by the French in 1808.
The eighth HMS LAUREL was a ten-gun cutter launched in 1806 which captured the French privateer Rhone in 1807 and the Jeune Laurein 1808. Captured by the French in 1808.
The next HMS Laurel was a 36-gun, fifth rate frigate captured from France in 1809, originally the Fidelle. Wrecked 1812.
The Lively-class HMS Laurel was a 36-gun, fifth rate launched in 1813, used in harbor service in 1864 and broken up in 1885.
