} |} HMS ''Chub'' (or ''Chubb'') was a Royal Navy ''Ballahoo''-class schooner of four 12-pounder carronades and a crew of 20. The prime contractor for the vessel was Goodrich & Co., in Bermuda, and she was launched in 1807.〔Winfield (2008), p.359.〕 She and her crew were lost when she was wrecked in August 1812. ==Service== ''Chub'' was commissioned in March 1807 under Lieutenant Wentworth Croke. ''Chub'' may have assisted at the invasion of Martinique between January and February 1809.〔O'Byrne (1849), Vol. 1, p.245.〕 If so, she does not appear among the vessels whose crews qualified for the Naval General Service Medal when the Admiralty awarded it in 1847. Lieutenant William Innes replaced Croke in June 1809, and was in turn replaced by Lieutenant Samuel Nisbett in 1812.〔 On 5 March 1812 ''Chub'' left Bermuda to search for the ''Mary'', Wilson, master, which had been sailing from Tobago to London. Admiral Sawyer had received information that ''Mary'' was in great distress from leaks and trying to reach Bermuda.〔''Lloyd's List'',() - accessed 26 November 2013.〕 ''Chub'' returned two days later without having found the ''Mary''. By 8 April ''Mary'' had still not arrived at Bermuda and it was feared that she had foundered.〔''Lloyd's List'',() - accessed 26 November 2013.〕 ''Chub'' captured several vessels in 1812 while on the Halifax station. On 18 July she captured the privateer ''Eliza'' and on 6 August the merchantman ''Grace''.〔Baker, Harrison Scott, II (transcriber) ''American Prisoners of War Held at Halifax, During the War of 1812'', Volume I. (Society of the War of 1812, Ohio).〕 Then on 18 July she recaptured the ''Ann'', M'Donald, master, which had been sailing from Cadiz to St John's when the American privateer ''Teazer'' captured her the day before. ''Chub'' brought ''Ann'' into Liverpool.〔''Lloyd's List'',() - accessed 26 November 2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Chub (1807)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
