WOLF (15) Built in 1806, the French LE DILIGENT taken by RENARD on the Jamaica station on 28 May 1806 and renamed the following year.
Broken up in 1811.
  • 1808 Lieut. Edmund WALLER (act. Cdr.), his appointment was not confirmed until 20 July. Jamaica.
    While escorting a convoy off the east coast of Jamaica on 1 May 1808 Lieut. WALLER was ordered by Captain Sir Charles BRISBANE in ARETHUSA to round up the leeward-most ships. In the course of doing this he sighted a suspicious sail and went in chase. Two hours later he captured the Spanish privateer schooner BRAGANZA, armed with one gun and carrying 54 men. Under her captain, Joseph Caudanio, she had left Cartagena in Columbia 22 days earlier and had made only one capture, the brig ANNE, one of WOLF's convoy.
