Between 21 and 30 September 1795, a squadron of French frigates captured several British merchantmen, Thames, Atterberry, master, among them.[4] Shortly thereafter, HMS Orion recaptured Thames, Atterbury, master.[5]
Thames then disappeared from LR and the Register of Shipping for some years. She reappeared in 1800.[2]
