HMS Nimrod-- Part 1: An 18-Gun Ctuizer-Class Brig-Sloop

From Wikipedia.

Here we go again, I have just now spent considerable time researching this cannonball hole in Falmouth, Massachusetts, and the HMS Nimrod. Before the article I printed earlier today, I'd never heard of either the town or ship.

I am learning a lot about it, but still do not have a definitive date for when the house was struck by the Nimrod cannonball.

Wikipedia did not have an article on the 1812 HMS Nimrod which evidently is the Nimrod in question here (there have been several HMS Nimrods). But it did say the Nimrod was an 18-gun Cruizer-class brig-sloop launched in 1812 and wrecked in 1827.
