HMS Cockatrice (1781), launched in 1781, was a 14-gun
cutter that sank at her moorings in 1801, was raised and then sold in 1802. Private interests purchased her, lengthened her (increasing her burthen from 181 to 195 tons), and changed her rig to that of a brig. They hired her out to the Navy and she was in service as a
hired armed vessel from 1804 to 1808. She then returned to mercantile service sailing between England, Africa, and the Caribbean until she was condemned at Lisbon in 1816.
Cockatrice was to have been the name for
HMS Brev Drageren in 1812, but was never used.
HMS Cockatrice was originally a composite paddle vessel called
HMS Niger, launched in 1880, renamed Cockatrice in 1881 and renamed again to
HMS Moorhen in 1896. She was sold in 1899.
HMS Cockatrice was originally a first class gunboat called
HMS Bramble, launched in 1886, renamed Cockatrice in 1896 and sold in 1906.
