His Majesty's hired armed cutter Queen Charlotte served the Royal Navy on two contracts, the first from 10 June 1803 to 13 February 1805, and the second from 17 September 1807 to 17 May 1814.
[2] On her first contract Queen Charlotte may initially have been under the command of Lieutenant John Drew,[3] on the Newfoundland Station.
Queen Charlotte was one of some 70 vessels that shared in the seizure of the 44-gun Russian frigate Speshnoy (Speshnyy), then in Portsmouth harbour.
Queen Charlotte had one man killed and 14 wounded out of her total complement of 27, including her master and a passenger.
[12] The French vessel was believed to have been the former British revenue cutter Swan, captured two years earlier off Portland, and to have had a crew of 80 to 100 men.
