Notes:

15 Jan 1815 Majestic, Endymion, Pomone and Tenedos discovered the President 2 miles ahead and following a long chase she was eventually captured by the frigates, particularly the Endymion.

17 Jan 1815 further bad weather blew up from the eastward following the action, as a result of which the Endymion lost her bowsprit and her fore and main masts ; the latter chiefly from the shrouds giving way where they had been knotted after the action and the President carried away all three of her masts and several of her guns were thrown overboard.

25 Jan 1815 Endymion arrived at Bermuda with her prize, the President.

8 Mar 1815 the President and Endymion, departed from Bermuda for England, arriving 28 Mar at Spithead : the President was added to the navy list, but was broken up in 1818.
