HMS Pactolus (1813)
HMS ''Pactolus'' was one of eight 38-gun ''Cydnus''-class fifth-rate frigates of the Royal Navy, that served in the Napoleonic wars and the War of 1812. She was one of the warships that bombarded Stonington, Connecticut from 9 to 12 August 1814. ''Pactolus'' was paid off in August 1817 and sold in 1818.
==Construction==
''Cydnus''-class frigates such as ''Pactolus'' were actually ''Leda''-class frigates, but built of red fir (pine). Pine was cheaper and more abundant than oak and permitted noticeably faster construction, but at a cost of a reduced lifespan. The motive for the use of red pine – an inferior material for shipbuilding〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Canadian Sea Scout Manual )〕 – was speed of construction. It was much quicker to build a ship with this material than one of oak; the drawback was that these fir-built ships were less durable than oak-built ships.
Like all the 38-gun British frigates of the late Napoleonic wars period, she carried twenty-eight 18-pounder guns on the upper deck, fourteen 32-pounder carronades on the quarter deck, and two 9-pounder guns and another two 32-pounder carronades on the forecastle. Under the re-classifications in February 1817, this resulted in her being re-classed from 38 guns to 46 guns.
