HMS Siren (or Syren[Note 1]) was a 28-gun Enterprise-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy.
She took part in the Battle of the Rice Boats on 2–3 March 1776 on the border between the Province of Georgia and the Province of South Carolina and in the Battle of Sullivan's Island of 28 June 1776 upon Charleston, South Carolina.
[2] Siren, escorting a convoy in poor visibility, ran aground at about 6:00 am on 6 November 1777 near Point Judith, along with two other ships.
Efforts were made to bring her off, but American forces ashore brought up field artillery and prevented salvage operations.
[3] [4][Note 2] The sloop Mary Ann, which had a diving machine, arrived at Newport, Rhode Island on 24 July 1815.
