HMS Quail (1806) was a Royal Navy Cuckoo-class schooner of 4 12-pounder carronades and a crew of 20. Custance & Stone built her at Great Yarmouth and launched her in 1806.[1] She appears to have had an extraordinarily uneventful career before she was sold in 1816.
She was commissioned in June 1806 under Lieut. Patrick Lowe for the Channel. [1] In 1807 she was under Lieut. Isaac Collett for the North Sea.[Note 1] In 1809 Lieut. John Osborn took command. He sailed her for the Mediterranean on 11 September 1811. In April 1814 she was under the command of Lieut. Alexander Stewart. Quail was paid off into Ordinary in October 1815. She was sold at Yarmouth on 11 January 1816 for £260.[1]
