HMS Quebec (1781)

[1] On 22 February that year she captured the schooner Betsy,[2] and in April two ships laden with flour, oil, bale goods, salt and wine.

[4] On 20 December Quebec was involved when Diomede and Astraea captured the American frigate South Carolina, for which she shared in prize money awarded eighteen months later.

He took possession of Ostend after the French retreat in early 1793, and in October transported reinforcements under General Sir Charles Grey to assist in the defence of Dunkirk.

[9] Details of prize monies awarded for the capture of engineering and ordnance stores on Martinique, St Lucia and Guadeloupe named Quebec and thirty other warships, plus six gunboats.

[14] In 1796, Quebec – now under the command of Captain John Cooke, Rogers having died of yellow fever in April 1795[15] - was in home waters, reporting from Spithead the capture of a French national cutter Aspic, off the Scilly Isles.

At various times from October 1799 to February 1800, Quebec seized American, French or Danish merchant ships bound for ports in the Americas or Caribbean with cargoes as diverse as cocoa, lumber, wine, soap & sundries, flour, sugar, cotton, honey and hides.

On 22 March 1808, while Danish harbours were still largely frozen in, Quebec was operating in the Great Belt and Kattegat as the Royal Navy gathered.

The last operating Danish ship-of-the-line was under orders to clear the Great Belt of enemy (British) warships but was closely watched that morning by Quebec,[31] with the sloop Lynx in company.

In the early afternoon Falcon joined them in Sejerø Bay, as the Danish ship sailed north and east around Zealand Point.

Two hours later the British ships-of-the-line Nassau and Stately were sighted and Quebec and the two sloops observed the ensuing battle without putting themselves in harm's way.

[32] In 1810, Quebec was stationed in the North Sea primarily off the Frisian Islands of Texel and Vlie to help enforce the naval blockade of that coast.

[40] On 8 November Quebec cut out a "fine French privateer schooner, La Jeune Louise (14)" from the Vlie Stroom, an area of difficult and shallow navigation.

[43] In August 1811, in company with five lesser warships,[e] Quebec captured a Vaisseau de Guerre of the Imperial Customs Service, later named as a privateer Christine Charlotte, with her crew of one officer and twelve men, as she was leaving Nordeney (East Frisian Islands) with a merchant vessel in tow.

[45] Two months later, on 30 October, Quebec was off the Flemish Banks when after a long chase she captured the privateer Olympia, of ten 18-pounder guns and 78 men.
