Captain William Brown acquired a letter of marque on 30 August 1810.[2]
On 16 December 1811 three privateers attacked Hebe as she was returning to London from Demerara. She was able to sink one before her attackers boarded and captured her. She suffered seven men killed and some wounded.[4]
Her entry in the Register of Shipping (RS) for 1812 carried the annotation "CAPTURED".[3] Lloyd's Register continued to carry her for five more years with stale data.
