HMS Forth (1813) was a 50-gun fifth rate frigate of the Endymion-class, launched on 14 June 1813 at Blackwall and broken up at Chatham in July 1819.[1]

From June 1813 to 1815 Forth came under the command of Captain Sir William Bolton in The Downs and later in the year off the Scheldt, with a spell under Sir Edward Codrington in 1814-1815. During service off North America in the War of 1812 under Captain Bolton, the American privateer brig Regent was captured on 19 Sep 1914 in Little Egg Harbor.[1][2]

From February 1816 until July 1819 Forth came under the command of Admiral Sir John Louis, 2nd Baronet, after undergoing a refitting first as a flagship and subsequently as a fourth rate frigate at Chatham.[3][1]
