[1] On 27 July 1807 she was under the command of Lieutenant Henry Wier and in company with Hazard, Conflict, Growler, and the hired armed brig Colpoys, when they captured nine French chasse marees.

[6] On 23 May 1810 Alban was in company with Raleigh and the hired armed cutter Princess of Wales, when they encountered seven Danish gunboats off The Skaw.

[8] Weir was promoted to the command of Calypso on 28 June 1810, but he was still captain of Alban on 12 July when she captured another Danish galliot, the Caroline.

The Alban was under the command of Lieutenant Thøger Emil Rosenørn when she encountered Rifleman on 11 May 1811 near the Shetland Islands.

[14] According to Danish sources, Rosenørn fought bravely and when he saw that defeat was inevitable, he hacked away rigging and created holes in the hull before he surrendered.

A contemporary newspaper report suggested she had run against an offshore sandbank on the evening of 17 December, and become stuck fast.

The crew were alive, other than ship's surgeon, Mr Thompson, who jumped overboard when the rescue party arrived and was drowned in the waves by the stern.

It appeared that the vast majority of those on board were drunk and made no effort to escape the vessel despite ready access to the shore.
