HMS Netley (1808)

HMS Netley was the American schooner Nimrod, launched at Baltimore in 1803 or 1804. The Royal Navy seized her in 1807, purchased her in 1808, and renamed her Netley. She participated in the 1810 invasion of Guadeloupe and also was the cause of an incident at Baltimore that same year. She was probably sold in 1814.
