HMS Magnet (1809)

She disappeared, presumed to have foundered with all hands, while sailing to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August or September 1812.[2] On 12 February 1809, HMS Undaunted (1807), Captain Thomas James Maling, sighted the French privateer San Joseph in the Channel.Undaunted discovered San Josephe at dawn, taking her after a chase lasting four hours, and brought her into Spithead the next day.The privateer, which was only four days out from St. Malo, was provisioned for two months and pierced for 18 guns, but mounted only 14, and had a crew of 96 men.[1] On 14 August Magnet accompanied Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, who was sailing to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on San Domingo, together with Poictiers, Sophie, and Mackerel.
