Leander was launched in 1795 at North Shields. The
Royal Navy purchased her in 1797, converted her to a bomb-vessel, and renamed her HMS Strombolo. She participated in the capture of Malta in 1800. The Navy laid her up in 1802 and had her
broken up in 1809.

Leander was launched by Simon Temple, South Shields in 1800. The
Royal Navy purchased her in 1803 and named her
HMS Curlew. Curlew was a sloop of 16 guns. The Navy sold her in 1810 and she returned to mercantile service as Leander. On her first voyage to the West Indies a French privateer captured her in a
single-ship action; she was lost shortly thereafter.
