HMS Harrier (1831)

HMS Harrier was a Royal Navy Snake-class brig-sloop launched in 1831. She was built at Pembroke Dockyard. Brig-sloops like Harrier were smaller than frigates and typically carried their armament on a single gun deck. Harrier's armament consisted of 16 guns.

Brig-sloops were employed for a variety of tasks, including patrolling, convoy escort, and suppressing the slave trade. Harrier, like other vessels of the Royal Navy, would have been actively engaged in these duties throughout her service life.

Details of Harrier's service history, including specific voyages, engagements, and commanders, require further research. Records of Royal Navy ships can be found in the National Archives (UK) and other maritime historical repositories. The precise date and cause of her decommissioning or disposal are also subjects for further investigation.
