Adriatic was launched in 1811 in the United States. The British Royal Navy seized her in July 1812. She was sold in 1813 and her new owners named her Vittoria. She traded with the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and the Indian Ocean. She was last listed in 1834.

Adriatic

On 12 July 1812, shortly after the outbreak of war with the United States, HMS Avenger detained the American ships Adriatic, Pochahontas, and Triton.[Note 1]

The Prize Court condemned Ariadtic and on 16 June 1813 Southam & Co. purchased her and renamed her. A database of whaling voyages shows Vittoria, Southam, master, returning on 23 August 1813, having left in 1811. The database has no other details.[5]

Vittoria

Lloyd's Register for 1814 shows Vittoria, Southam, master and owner, and trade London—Mauritius.[3] Thereafter she traded with the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and the Indian Ocean.

Notes

  1. ^ Avenger's crew received a grant of 29⁄30 of the proceeds of the sale of all three vessels. A first-class share was worth £ 989 6s; a sixth-class share, that of an ordinary seaman, was worth £23 1s 4d.[4] That amount was more than an ordinary seaman's wage for a year.
