Neptune (1805 ship)

A French privateer captured her in 1809 but passengers and some disaffected members of the prize crew recaptured her.

[2] Roehampton apparently foundered as she disappeared from Lloyd's List (LL) and other press reports.

[3] In November 1807 LL reported that Neptune, Wilson, master, had been sailing from Liverpool to St Domingo when she had to put into Lisbon in distress.

[4] The French corvette Mouche, of 16 guns and 145–150 men, left Corunna on 11 April 1809.

[6] Mouche appears to have captured two vessels named Neptune, both with Wilson, master.

Between 22 and 26 April the French plundered Neptune of everything they could, including watches and other personal property belonging to the passengers.

On 27 April captor and captive sailed for Corruna, but separated that night in a gale.
