Notes:

7 Sep 1807 taken at the Battle of Copenhagen.

It was reported in many of the papers of the day, circa Feb 1808, per the London Gazette, that the Glommen was to be re-named Britomart, but it would appear that the name change was cancelled, as the newspapers continued to describe her as the Glommen, another vessel named Britomart having subsequently been launched July 1808, and it would appear that the Admiralty continued with tradition and retained her original name rather than changing it.

8 Jul 1808, arrived Deal, from the Nore.

12 Sep 1809, at Barbadoes with the Achates when they were joined by the Swaggerer.
