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.
