[8] On 27 October Friendship was on her way home when the French privateer Aventure captured her and placed her crew on the American ship Henry.

However, the next year Lloyd's Register reported it as having changed to Mangles & Co.[13] Captain John Newham received a letter of marque on 11 April 1797.

[18] She had been part of a small convoy under escort by Buffalo that also included Minerva, Varuna, and Highland Chief.

Monarch was part of a convoy under escort by HMS Seahorse that also included Northampton, Manship, Sarah Christiana, Comet, Sovereign, Caledonia, Ann, Princess Mary, Varuna, Carron, Elizabeth, General Stuart, and Monarch.

Friendship, under the command of Captain Armet and with surgeon Peter Cosgreave, left England on 3 July 1817 and arrived at Port Jackson on 14 January 1818.

[22] South west of Madeira, Friendship encountered an open boat with six Spaniards and an American on board.

The men had fashioned sails out of their shirts, and were exhausted and hungry, having had nothing but a little raw turtle in the preceding six days.

The problem had begun before the ship left England and despite the efforts of Armet and Cosgreave, continued unabated.

When Friendship reached St Helena, Cosgreave asked the admiral in charge of the station for assistance in prohibiting cohabitation between the women and the ship's officers and seamen; two post captains made an inquiry, but without any resolution.

When Friendship reached Port Jackson, Governor Macquarie appointed three magistrates to conduct a second, separate inquiry that exonerated Armet and Cosgreave of any dereliction of duty.

[23] Friendship, Armet, master, arrived at Port Louis, Mauritius, on 5 August 1818 from Sumatra.
