HMS Semiramis (1808) explained

HMS Semiramis was a fifth-rate Royal Navy frigate during the Age of Sail. She was built at Deptford Dockyard, launched on 25 July 1808,[1] and eventually broken up in 1844.

Charles Richardson captained HMS Semiramis between 1810 and 1814,[2] (1823) during which time the ship destroyed the French 16-gun brig Le Pluvier and captured the 14-gun French privateer vessel Grand Jean Bart.[3]

Captain Sir James Yeo was transferred to command HMS Semiramis in October 1817; he would die aboard in 1818 while returning to England from Jamaica.[4]
