HMS Tickler (1804)

HMS Tickler was launched in August 1808 at Brightlingsea as a later Archer-class gunbrig. She served in the Channel and the Baltic until the Danes captured her in 1808 during the Gunboat War. They sold her in 1815. From 1815 to 1852 she sailed as Frederikke Louise, first as a merchantman and then from 1843 to 1851 as a sealer.
