Capture of HMS Epervier

The capture of HMS Epervier was a naval action fought off the coast of Florida near Cape Canaveral on 29 April 1814, between the United States ship-rigged sloop-of-war USS Peacock, commanded by Master Commandant Lewis Warrington, and the British Cruizer-class brig-sloop Epervier under Commander Richard Wales. Peacock captured Epervier after a one-sided cannonade, but the British merchant convoy escaped.
