HMS Atalanta

HMS Atalanta was a 14-gun Swan class ship-sloop of the Royal Navy launched on 12 August 1775. She served during the American Revolutionary War. On 28 May 1781, Atalanta was captured by the privateer Alliance, in which 24 of her crew were killed or wounded. She was recaptured three days later. In May 1782, under the command of Brett, she destroyed an American privateer, under then command of Ayret, near Cape d'Or. Privateers from Cumberland were on board. The privateers escaped to the woods leaving their provisions, which Captain Brett took to Cumberland.
