Frolic was one of some 70 vessels that shared in the seizure of the 44-gun Russian frigate Speshnoy (Speshnyy), then in Portsmouth harbour.

[c] In 1847 the Admiralty authorized the issuance of the Naval General Service Medal with clasps "Martinique" and "Guadaloupe".

[9] On 17 February 1810 Frolic, Surinam, and Superieure joined Captain William Charles Fahie of Abercrombie and his force at the surrender of Saint Martin.

[11] Captain Warwick Lake of Recruit had marooned an impressed seaman, Robert Jeffrey, there on 13 December 1807, and was now the subject of an Admiralty investigation.

[11] In October 1812 the Frolic was serving on the North American station, protecting a convoy of six merchantmen off Virginia.

[12] Within 40 minutes Wasp had repeatedly raked Frolic, killing 15 and wounding 43 out of the 120 seamen and boys aboard, including Whinyates.

[12] The subsequent court martial for the loss of the ship honorably acquitted Whinyates, his officers and his men.

Earlier, on 20 July 1813, Frolic was one of four British vessels sharing in the capture of the American ship Fame.
