Price (1811 ship)

Captain Enoch Staples commissioned Price on 4 February 1813. HMS Iris captured her on 12/13 April after a chase of 13 hours. Price had a crew of 30, five of her crew presumably forming the prize crew on Equity.^[3] Price, Stoffield, master, had been sailing from Charleston to France. She arrived at Plymouth on 6 April.^[4]

Iris also captured the schooner Equity, of Plymouth, Irwin, master, on 3 April. Price had captured Equity, Irwin, master, on 3 April. Iris recaptured Equity the day after she had captured Price. Iris sent Equity into Corunna.^[4] Equity, of eight men and 88 tons, was carrying wine from Madeira to London.^[5]

Price first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1813 with Nepier, master, and trade Plymouth–London.^[6] The Register of Shipping (RS) for 1813 showed Price with F.Jones, master and owner, and trade Plymouth–London.^[2]

Price was last listed in Lloyd's Register in 1818, and in the Register of Shipping in 1820, in both cases with information unchanged from her first appearances.
