She captured or destroyed four small Spanish or French privateers before she was wrecked on 4 September 1806 in the Bahamas.

On the evening of 9 October 1805, Mackenzie sailed Wolf to try to intercept two vessels sighted off Falmouth on the north coast of Jamaica.

Mackenzie dropped a boat to take possession of the American and then went in pursuit of the Spanish privateer which was sailing towards the shore.

The privateer was Precieusa, a new cutter armed with three small guns, under the command of Galana Garsa.

[3] The American vessel was probably Experiment, Moncrief, master, which had been sailing from Falmouth to Montego Bay and New York when she had been taken and retaken.

[4] On 2 January 1806 HMS Malabar and Wolf captured the French privateer schooners Régulateur and Napoléon in Port Azaraderos, Cuba.

She then engaged the privateers for almost two hours until their crews abandoned their vessels, landed, and escaped into the woods.
