Hebe

Hebe was launched at Sunderland in 1809 as a West Indiaman. French privateers captured her in December 1811 after a strong resistance that resulted in her sustaining heavy casualties. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1809 with Richardson, master, Cheesewright, owner, and trade England–Demerara. Captain William Brown acquired a letter of marque on 30 August 1810. On 19 July 1811, Hebe, William Brown, master, was scheduled to leave Demerara and join the West India convoy on 1 August, or possibly to run direct to London. On 19 September, Hebe was reloading her cargo at Tortola, having put in there in distress as she was sailing from Demerara to London.
