[2] On 13 April 1808 Sub-Lieutenant James Young underwent a court martial aboard Salvador del Mundo at Plymouth.

[1] On 9 July Snapper was in company with the second rate Dreadnought, Tonnant, Gibraltar, and Minerva when they captured Goede Hoop.

[6] Snapper was also in company with Christian VII, Armide and Conflict when they captured the chasse maree Felicitée on 10 January 1810 and Glorieuse ten days later.

However, the success was bought at a cost of six dead, 31 wounded, and six missing, as well as two ship’s boats, as a result of an ambush by a large party of French troops with two field guns on a cliff overlooking the anchorage.

[1][15] French records agree on the date and location, but give the captor as the lugger Angélique, which was under the command of capitaine de frégate Guiné.

Although Snapper had suffered no casualties, Thrakston surrendered as the pinnaces closed to board and after her rigging and sails were shot to pieces and she had lost her topmast.
