Serpent was a French navy brig of the Palinure class, launched in 1807 at Paimbeouf (Nantes) as Rivolli, but renamed.

[8][a] The Royal Navy commissioned her as 16-gun sloop and Rear-Admiral the Honourable Sir Alexander Cochrane provisionally named her Pert.

Junon was carrying some sugar and cargo, which resulted in prize money (over and above that for the vessel itself) for all five British captors (i.e., including Asp).

[12][b] This campaign led to the award in 1847 of the clasp "Guadaloupe" to the Naval General Service Medal to all surviving claimants from the invasion.

[15] Disposal: The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Asp sloop, of 333 tons", for sale at Portsmouth on 16 March 1814.

[2] John Bell & Co. purchased Asp to employ her as a South Seas whaler and appointed Captain J. Kenney master.

[5] Whaling voyage #1: Captain Kenney sailed Asp on 23 August 1814, bound for the coast of Peru.

[19] She left the Galapagos on 15 March,[20] and called at St Catherine's (Florianópolis) after transiting Cape Horn.

[17] Asp, Kenneck (or Kenneth, or Renneck, or Rennick), master, sailed from Britain on 16 November 1827 with destination the Indian Ocean.
