linnet, a bird of the
finch family:
HMS Linnet (1806) was a 14-gun
brig, originally named Speedwell, which the French ship Gloire captured off
Madeira in 1813. She became the American privateer Bunker's Hill.
Pomone and
Cydnus recaptured her on 4 March 1814 but she was not taken back into Royal Navy service.[1]
HMS Linnet (1813) was a 16-gun brig that operated on the Canadian Lakes.
