HMS Surinam was the 18-gun Batavian corvette or sloop Pilades that the British captured on 5 May 1804 when they captured Surinam from the Dutch. The Batavian flotilla that the British captured was under the command of naval Captain Blots Van Treelong.[1]

There already being a Шаблон:HMS in service, the British renamed her Surinam when they took her into the Royal Navy. Little is known of the 413 tons burthen Pylades;Шаблон:Sfnp the Dutch reported that she was an English vessel that they had captured at the beginning of the war, i.e., in 1803. When the British recaptured her, she had a crew of 39 men, including her captain.[2]

The British commissioned Surinam under Commander Kenneth M'Kenzie, of Шаблон:HMS, but he transferred almost immediately to Шаблон:HMS. His replacement was Commander Henry Waring, formerly captain of Шаблон:HMS, which had been part of the naval squadron at the capture of Surinam. Surinam was paid off on 28 June 1804 and was sold in about 1808.Шаблон:Sfnp One may surmise that Waring requested the transfer to Surinam to sail her back to England. He was married in London in April 1805.[3]

Prize money in the amount of £32,000 was paid in March 1808 to the officers and crew of the Royal Navy vessels involved in the capture of the colony of Surinam.[4]
