One of the flotilla of gunvessels employed in the defence of Cadiz in 1810. She was commanded by Lieut. William HALL. In thick hazy weather on the afternoon of 1 November 1810 a flotilla of French gunvessels from San Lucar was sighted running along-shore from Rota and they were pursued by the British flotilla, which had already destroyed one of them early in the morning. The enemy, with only a short distance to run, managed to escape, but in the running fight Lieut. HALL was badly wounded.
