HMS Harpy (1777)

HMS Harpy was a 14-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy, launched in 1777. While detailed service records for smaller vessels of this era are often incomplete, several sources suggest she served primarily in the North American theatre during the American Revolutionary War. Her specific actions and engagements remain largely undocumented, however, making a comprehensive account of her career difficult to compile. Information regarding her fate – whether she was lost at sea, decommissioned, or sold out of service – is also currently unavailable. Further research into British Admiralty records and naval logs from the period may yield more details on her operational history and ultimate disposition.
