HMS Dauntless (1808)

[2] On 3 December 1813 a gale dismasted the transport Phoenix, Heller, master, at 46°2′N 9°9′W / 46.033°N 9.150°W / 46.033; -9.150 as she was sailing from Portsmouth to the Cape of good Hope.

[Note 1] Dauntless shared in the proceeds of the capture, between 29 November and 19 December 1814, of the schooner Mary and the transports Lloyd and Abeona.

[Note 2] On 7 February 1815, a party of American militia captured a tender to Dauntless near St James Island, in Chesapeake Bay.

The tender was armed with one 12-pounder carronade and some swivel guns, and had a crew of 19 men under the command of a lieutenant.

The landing party had the misfortune to arrive as a local war commenced and one side assumed they were enemy.

[8] In company with members of the Philosophical Society of Australasia fixed a suitably engraved bronze tablet on a "beetling rock" on the south head of Botany Bay to commemorate the first landing of Captain James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks in Australia in 1770.

Dauntless sailed through Torres Strait to Trincomalee to rejoin the fleet, and returned to Portsmouth to pay off in October 1823.
