HMS Pickle is a large shovel from the Royal Navy. He was originally a civilian ship named Sting , out of six weapons, to which Lord Hugh Seymour was bought for use as a tender at a Jamaican station. Pickles is at the Battle of Trafalgar, and although he is too small to take part in the battle, Pickle is the first ship to bring Nelson's victory news to Great Britain.. He also participated in the famous single ship action when he captured the favorite French privateer in 1807. Acar was destroyed in 1808, but without loss of life. In 1995 recreation "Pickles" was built in Russia and is now anchored in Hull Marina in Humber. The recreation, owned by Historic Motor and Sail (https://historicmotorandsail.org.uk) is stored as a historical monument to the original Pickle and can be seen in ports along the east coast of England during the summer months.

Origins
Originally named Sting , Pickle was built in 1799 in Bermuda, where this type of ship is known as Bermuda sloop. Vice Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour, commander-in-chief at Jamaica Station, officially purchased Sting in December 1800 for £ 2,500, after hiring it for several times at Ã, £ 10 per day. His purchase contradicts an order not to buy a vessel. However, faced with the fait accompli , Admiralty issued a command in February 1801 that his name was changed to Pickle .
Interestingly, between April and June 1800, at Leeward Island station, Pickles participated in the taking of four prizes and reappointment. Sting may have been known as Pickle at a station long before Admiralty made its name changed officially as London Gazette did not seem to mention about Stings > during this period. That said, the Naval Chronicle number of scholars Stings "between the vessel escorting the convoy where Lowest was destroyed on August 10, 1801. Finally, Admiralty rebuked Commander Sting ' after September 1801, Lt. Thomas Thrush, to stop referring to him as Sting and calling it Pick .

Then, on May 26th, Pickles was portrayed as a tender for Captain William Browell's ship from the Sans Pareil line retaking schooner John William Jeffrey, Tuan. The brilliant French Privateer has captured John , who has sailed from Boston to Martinique. Lastly, on June 30th, the Pick and tender Gipsy captured the French private schooner Fidelle , which was armed with four weapons and had a men's crew of 61 men. He came from Guadeloupe and a private cruise when two British ships caught him.
On September 11, Capt Frederick Watkins waded through Nereide to Curaçao to prevent the French from taking it. Then on September 13 he took possession and signed the capitulation requirement on behalf of England. Sting apparently acts as a tender for flagship there.
Schooner Sting was listed as one of the convoy escorts formed on July 29, 1801 when Lowestoffe came to escort him. Lowestoffe and five merchant ships were damaged, with few casualties, on August 10. The next military trial of Captain Robert Plampin of Lowestoffe, who released him and his officers, took place in Kingston, Jamaica on September 3.
Then on September 25, 1801 a privateer who waved the Spanish flag did not succeed in involving Acar in a single ship action resulting in the death of his commander, Lieutenant Greenshields, and injured Midshipman Pierce, the employer, Thomas Hayer, and seven others from his crew. At 11 am, about five or six NW miles from the Isle of Ash (aka ÃÆ'Žle ÃÆ' Vache or Cow Island, southern Hispaniola), Pickle saw a ship flying the British flag and sailing toward him. When the ship got into a gunshot, he waved a Spanish flag and fired a shot. The fight lasted an hour and a quarter, with gun balls piercing the body that killed Greenshields about 40 minutes. The Spanish ship then tried to ascend to Pickles, but when the Spaniards were unable to do so, he escaped. Pickle chases the privateer for an hour and a half but privateer is faster and Pickle stops the chase. Hayer, who wrote the action report, described the privateer as having two 12-pounders and two 9-pound weapons, and a crew of about 70 people. Pickles has 35 crew, among which three people are paralyzed by the disease.
Thomas Thrush, a lieutenant at Sans Pareil , the next assumed command. He then accepted the task of bringing Seymour's body back to England, the admiral who died on September 11th fever.
On 24 March 1802 Pickles came under the command of Lieutenant John Richards Lapenotiere. He may not actually take command until May.
On February 16 Pickles arrived from Malta after a 14-day cruise. He brought an emergency so that after meeting with Rear Admiral Dacres, his captain rushed out at post-chaise and four for Admiralty while the ship himself went into quarantine at Coney Cove, Stonehouse Pool.
Napoleonic Wars
In 1803 Pickle was attached to the Inland Squadron Admiral William Cornwallis, where he visited enemy headquarters during the Brest blockade, Rochefort and Lorient. On 1 June Pickles were in the company with Diana when they took the French brig EuphrosinÃÆ'Â © . Then on July 9 Pick Up capture Prudent .
Pickles sailed from Plymouth on October 15 to sail on the Channel and on October 22 he arrested the American ship Resolution . Pickle sailed from Plymouth again on December 28 and returned on January 31, 1804, after losing its top-first and front page in a storm on the 19th.
On March 25, 1804 Acar went to the Extraordinary help, which had run to Brest's lifeboat. Acar and frigates Fox come along once Extra hit, just as Indefatigable and Aigle me. The ships then saved the incredible
On July 26, the aircraft carrier in Hamoaze made a mark, in which a sailor from Puppets, who was attended by manned and armed fleet ships, was whipped around the fleet at Hamoaze and Voice. Lapenotiere has accused the man of rebellion, an allegation issued by the military court council. Yet they find the man guilty of immodesty, desertion and disobedience. At the same time a sailor from Doris was also flogged around the fleet for attempting to kill his sleeping friend in his hammock.
On 24 and 25 September Pickles captured two chasse-marà ©  © French who were loaded with supplies for the French fleet at Brest and took him to Plymouth. Lapenotiere had taken them to the Bay there and then sent his ships to take them out. Boadicea is visible. Two French ships may be Marie FranÃÆ'§aise from Bordeaux and Desirà ©  © e from Quimper.
Pickles were in the company with Naiad on July 9, 1805 when they caught the brig Argo and the Nelly lifeboat. Then on July 19 Pickles found himself stuck in the Strait of Gibraltar. Two Spanish warships came and fired at him until there was enough wind for Pickle to maneuver to bring his broadside to bear, at which point he could catch a battleship to Tarifa. However, the wind was wobbly, and seven Spanish warships came out to harass the Pickles. Pickle was able to attack the Tangier Fort shelter, although one battleship kept harassing him until the wind was strong enough for Pickles to sail and return to the British fleet.. Although the duration of the engagement, Pickle only suffered one person was injured.
On September 29th Pickles captured an American brig. Measured immeasurably . Then on October 9th, Pickle accompanied Weazel (or Weazle ) as they went to help Captain Henry Blackwood in the coastal waters of CÃÆ'¡diz, and to provide surveillance services for the fleet. Pickles managed to sail close enough to the coast to provide a definite count of enemy warships in Cadiz harbor. Also, Pickle apparently succeeded in capturing the Portuguese bringing oxen from Tangiers to Cadiz.
Trafalgar Battle
During the Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805), Pickles and other small vessels remain far away from the battle, as a single leaflet from the liner will soon drown it. Pickle itself is placed in the northwest of the weather line, where Nelson leads HMS
In the final stages of the battle, Pickle , Entreprenante , and the boats the Prince and Swiftsure go to the rescue of the French crew, < i> Achille , which burns and then explodes. Together they rescued two women and a place between 100 and 200 men who were swept up by French rifles as they became hot killing two or three sailors on another boat.
One of the women was floating, naked, holding an oar; he was taken on a mountain boat wearing a sailor's trousers that a sailor on the ship who had picked him up had taken off and given it to him. Then he told how he had to fight a number of men who tried to take his oars.
The prisoners at Pickle exceeded the number of his crew by three to one and sounded planning to take him to Cadiz. Nothing happened even though the crew Pickle kept watch over the prisoners.
Pickles was the first ship to bring the news of Nelson's victory to England, arriving in Falmouth on 4 November 1805, after a hard cruise in bad weather. Vice Admiral Collingwood, who had taken command after Nelson's death, chose him to take his posts describing the battle and announcing Nelson's death. Collingwood sent Pickles , captured by John Richards LapenotiÃÆ'¨re, returning to England with the news of a great victory. This is a signal of honor for every junior officer because it is almost guaranteed promotion. Upon arriving in Falmouth, LapenotiÃÆ'¨re took a recliner to London to send a shipment to Admiralty, stopping 21 times to change the horse. The Admiralty duly promoted him to the Commander for this service, and Patriotic Funds Committee Lloyd gave him a sword worth 100 guineas and Ã, Â £ 500 cash. The route LapenotiÃÆ'¨re is now known as The Trafalgar Way.

In 1806, Lieutenant Daniel Callaway took command of Pickle , sailed on the Channel. On April 15, 1806, Pickles, with two Scilly pilots in the company, captured the Prussian ship Elizabeth Henrietta.
On January 3, 1807 Scorpion chased a cutter some 15 miles south of The Lizard. Pickles came on the scene, made all the sailing, and managed to catch up with the mine, with whom he exchanged two broadside. Callaway ran Pickle beside a French ship and his crew went up and caught him. The French ship is a privateer
Of the 70 crew members, Favorites have lost one person killed and two injured. Pickles has suffered two seriously injured and one slightly injured man. In 1847, Admiralty authorized all survivors of the Navy Navy Medal with a "Pickle 3 Jany. 1807" pin. When Scorpion was captured, he released 69 prisoners who then landed in Falmouth.
Later that year, Lieutenant Moses Cannadey was appointed to replace Callaway. However, Cannadey did not actually take over the command to a point in 1807.
Fate
On July 26 Pickles brought a shipment from England to Lord Collingwood Admiral in Cadiz when Cannadey saw Cape Santa Maria at night. He then sets his course on that basis. At midnight, the scouts saw the water break. The helmsman immediately tried to change him but it was too late and he was grounded. Pickles starts filling up quickly with water, causing it to tip to port. The crew boarded the ship and landed on the coast of Spain. In the morning, Cannadey returns to the wreck where he finds he can not be recovered because his butt is really giving up. He decides that he has destroyed the Chipiona flock. A maltese diver worked for three days to recover the shipment.
The military court on August 2 attributed the damage to "unaccountable mistakes in calculating" the distance traveled, and admonished Cannadey, recommending that he be more careful in the future. Later that year Cannadey took command of the armed lugger hired by BlackJoke.
Postscript
After the 1974 initiative by Commodore (then Vice Admiral) Sir John Lea, the Royal Navy officer has an annual Dinner Night Dinner, as do many private clubs in the Commonwealth of Nations. Night Night parallel Trafalgar Night , warning of battle by officers assigned by Royal Navy, but generally held a week later.However, he should not be considered a "replica" of H M Schooner Pickle of Trafalgar fame from the year 1805, but a representative of the ship itself who portrayed the story.
