Mistletoe, Mutine, Nancy, and the hired armed brig Pitt were anchored in the harbour of Buenos Aires on 25 May 1810, during May Week, when a revolution broke out in the city.
On the deposition of the Brazilian Viceroy, consequent on the revolution of 25 May 1810, Lieutenant Ramsay took charge of his Excellency's family, and, as he did of that of another ex-Viceroy, conveyed them, with several persons of distinction, at his own expense, to Montevideo.
[1] Mistletoe was serving as a tender to the flagship at Portsmouth and was stationed at Brighton Roads to cruise against smugglers.
On 14 December 1816, HMS Algerine sighted Mistletoe some eight miles from Dunnose in a storm of wind.
[2] In early January 2017, a wreck was discovered that was initially believed to be that of Mistletoe,[4] but it turned out to be that of a merchantman.
