HMS Trimmer (1782)

[3] Lloyd's List reported in January 1782 that Molly, Jordain, master had been on her way to Liverpool from Jamaica when she encountered the privateer Terror of England, of 22 guns, off the Tuskar Rock, Ireland.

Terror of England had captured the yacht Tyrone, Roach, master, and ransomed her for 200 guineas.

[5] On 4 January 1782, Terror of England captured several vessels: Elizabeth, Mollineaux master, which had been sailing from Plymouth to Liverpool, a schooner that had been sailing from London to Cork, and several other vessels that Terror of London had ransomed.

[7] Cooper had received intelligence that a privateer cutter had taken several vessels in the channel between Ireland and Britain.

As soon as the weather permitted, Cooper set sail and was fortunate enough to encounter and capture her.

Kelly was a native of Rush, but held a commission as a lieutenant in the French navy.

[8]) (When Stag captured Anti-Briton, there were reportedly twelve hostages aboard representing some £60,000 in ransom money.)

[8]) Although there is a great deal of ambiguity about how many crew were abroad Anti-Briton, ultimately the authorities determined that 36 men were French.

[11] In 1787 Lieutenant George M'Kinley went in pursuit of a smuggler in Trimmer's jolly boat.

On 5 April Trimmer and the brig Liberty, under the command of George M'Kinley, captured the French privateer Courier.

Commander Edward Parker recommissioned her in March 1801, for the North Sea, but the Admiralty cancelled the deployment and ordered her sold.
