[8] Lloyd's Register for 1814 showed Little Catherine with Jeffrey, master, changing to Richards, Blewett & Co. owners, and trade Falmouth packet.

However, the Post Office had engaged Little Catherine and appointed John Vivian as her captain on 13 March 1813.

[b] Hotspur found her plundered, all but two of her guns thrown overboard, with her sails set, but her rudder free so that she drifted at the mercy of wind and waves.

Vivian agreed that he and his men would navigate the frigate, handing back control when the weather moderated.

Herald put Little Catherine's crew aboard a Russian vessel that delivered them to Madeira.

[9] The British frigate HMS Lacedaemonian recaptured Little Catherine on 25 June, within two miles of the Charlestown bar and sent her into Bermuda.

[9][c] The Court of Enquiry reprimanded Captain Richards, stating that he should have kept more to the wind and that he should have used the brass guns in his stern ports.

[20] Blucher first appeared in Lloyd's Register in the 1815 listing of Falmouth packets with Price, master, and Government Post Office as owner.

She arrived back at Falmouth on 5 October 1818 from the Leeward Islands, having left St Thomas on 8 September.

Disposal: The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Blucher Packet Vessel... lying at Falmouth" for sale on 16 December 1823.

Her masters were Thomas Wakeman (Dartmouth; 13 May 1829), Robert Larica (18 June 1830), James McLean (20 August 1831), and Philip Willis (16 April 1829).

[2] In 1834 Little Catherine was advertised to carry emigrants to the Swan River Colony, Hobart, and New South Wales.

Then in 1840 she was sold to the Trinidad and Sabine Company, which advertised that she was ready to take emigrants from England to Texas.

The expedition was arrested on 31 August by the government of New Grenada, released on 22 October, and returned unsuccessful to England in June 1842.

She sailed in early September 1847 from Singapore for Hong Kong with an English master, Victor Howes, and local crew.

By his account the local crew took control of the vessel and ran her ashore around Longitude 16½° in the Gulf of Tonquin on the coast of Cochinchina on 24 October.
