HMS Carron (1813)

HMS Carron was a 20-gun Cyrus-class sixth-rate post ship of the Royal Navy built in 1813 by Edward Adams, at Bucklers Hard in Hampshire. From August 1814 to April 1815, she was deployed on the Gulf Coast, in support of the operations of Edward Nicolls, commanding a detachment of Royal Marines, allied Creek warriors, and fugitive escapee slaves of the Corps of Colonial Marines. At the end of the war, she conveyed fugitive escapee slaves to be resettled. She was wrecked in 1820.
