HMS Ems was a Dutch schuyt that the Royal Navy captured in 1809. [1] She was the only vessel of her name to serve in the Royal Navy. No vessel by that name appears in Colledge & Barlow (2006).
Ems appears to have had a completely uneventful career; in 1812 and 1813 she was at Yarmouth. [3] She was converted to a water carrier, probably in 1813. In December 1815 the Admiralty put three schuyts, Patriot, Jahde, and Ems up for sale at Chatham. [2] All sold in 1815. [1]
