Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane had been in readiness since 2 September and immediately set sail for the Danish West Indies in his flagship, HMS Belleisle, bringing with him a squadron of warships, including Fawn, and troops under the overall army commander, General Henry Boyer.

The British captured St Thomas and Santa Cruz; the Danes did not resist and the invasion was bloodless.

[9] Some time after Astraea wrecked on a reef off Anegada on 23 March, Fawn and the two 32-gun frigates Jason and Galatea arrived and engaged in salvage attempts.

[10] Around this time, Commander George Albert Crofton, late of Observateur, replaced de Courcy.

[6] On 28 (or 20) May Lieutenant James Robertson (Acting), took two of Fawn's boats on a cutting out expedition to capture Spanish privateer schooner and three merchant vessels anchored under the protection of two shore batteries at the northeast end of Porto Rico.

Four decades later the operation was among the actions recognised by the clasp "Martinique" attached to the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM), awarded upon application to all British participants still living in 1847.

[13] Another report describes Sir George Prevost as a polacre ship and her captor as the French privateer Fine.

At the end of 1809 Fawn formed part of the squadron off Guadeloupe under Captain Volant Vashon Ballard of Blonde.

On 25 September Blonde, Fawn, and Scorpion sent their boats after an enemy vessel making for Basse-Terre.

The boat parties reached the French vessel despite cross-fire from the batteries and in the face of small arms fire from men on the beach.

[d] In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Guadaloupe" to all surviving participants of the campaign.

On 11 October 1810, Fawn captured a French privateer schooner after an "anxious" six-hour chase during which the quarry threw her guns overboard.

She was a new vessel, three days out of Brest, and had taken no prizes, though she was in the process of boarding a Pappenberg brig sailing from Dover when Fawn appeared on the scene.

[19] On 27 June 1811, the American ship George, M'Kirdy, master, which Fawn had detained, arrived in Yarmouth.

[20] About a week later, Fawn detained and sent into Yarmouth Sanderness, Jamerson, master, which had been sailing from Denmark.

[6] After cruising in the Channel for some time, Fawn proceeded to escort a fleet of merchantmen from Cork to Barbados.

On their arrival in Carlisle Bay, Barbados, the masters of the vessels in the convoy gave Fellowes a letter thanking him "for the excellent arrangements he made to prevent separation, and for his very great attention to them during the voyage".

[24][25] One source further describes Perthshire as a letter of marque of 14 guns, and carrying a cargo of fish and oil.

[29] Rosamond ran on shore on Point Hicacos where her captain and 24 men drowned in attempting to reach the land.

[23] The Captain-General of the Caraccas then requested that Fellowes extend his patrol to the east side of the province of Cumana, "where the insurgents have landed at a place called Guiaia, paralyzing commerce, and obstructing the general supplies of provisions sent to the island of H[is] B[ritannic] M[ajesty] and seriously affecting the interests of his afflicted ally, the Spanish nation.

[e] The Governor of Curaçao, Major-General Hodgson, also acknowledged Captain Fellowes' "zealous and active exertions;" and the merchants of that island presented him with a piece of place.

[23] On 3 July Bedford, Cyane, and Fawn left Jamaica, escorting a convoy of some 100 vessels for England.

to state that your great attention to our Comforts in our different stations has left a grateful impression on our minds, and induces us to take the Liberty of soliciting the favour of serving in any Ship to which you may be appouited, we hope, Sir, that you will be pleased to Excuse this freedom as it proceeds from no other motive than our Gratitude to a Commander we so much Esteem and Respect.

[6] Fawn, of 430 tons, built at Topsham in 1807, with Thomas Allen, master, and John Lydekker, owner, sailed on 5 February 1820 for Peru, on her first whaling voyage.

[4] Charles Dale and Fawn left Britain on 8 July 1829 on her fourth whaling voyage, with destination the Pacific Ocean.

[4] Fawn's fifth whaling voyage was her last with Charles Dale as master and John Lydekker as owner.
