[1] On 28 August 1799, Cracker was with the British fleet that captured the Dutch hulks Drotchterland and Brooderschap, and the ships Helder, Venus, Minerva, and Hector, in the New Diep, in Holland.

[2] The capture of these vessels was part of the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland and preceded by two days the Vlieter incident in which a large part of the navy of the Batavian Republic, commanded by Rear-Admiral Samuel Story, surrendered to the British navy on a sandbank near the Channel known as De Vlieter, near Wieringen.

[5] This may have occurred on 7 October 1799 when Dart, Defender, Cracker, Hasty, and the schuyt Isis cut out four gunboats from the Pampus, in the Zuiderzee.

[7] Admiral Lord Nelson, in letter, remarked on "with the exception of the glaring misconduct of the Officers of the Tigress and Cracker gun brigs".

The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" first offered the "Cracker Gun-Vessel, 161 Tons, Copper-bottomed and fastened, and Copper Braces and Pintles, lying at Sheerness", for sale on 1 December 1802.
