HMS Crane was a Royal Navy Cuckoo-class schooner of four 12-pounder carronades and a crew of 20. She was built by Custance & Stone at Great Yarmouth and launched in 1806.[1] Like many of her class and the related Ballahoo-class schooners, she succumbed to the perils of the sea relatively early in her career.

She was commissioned in 1806 under Lieutenant John Cameron for operations in the North Sea.[1] In May 1808 Crane sent into Plymouth the captured Danish vessel Justitia.[2]

In 1808 Crane was under a Lieutenant Mitchell, and then under Lieutenant Joseph Tindale.[1][a]

At 7:30 pm on 25 October 1808 bad weather drove her from her anchorage at Plymouth.[3] She dropped a second anchor. By 4:00 am on 26 October 1808 she was near shore and got under way to make for the Sound. She returned three hours later to find an anchorage but a squall hit her as she went about. She let go an anchor but struck a rock off Plymouth Hoe. She fired her guns to signal distress, which brought out several boats from Plymouth Dockyard.[4] With some assistance she was refloated, but she went aground again. She sank in deeper water with her starboard gunwales just clearing the surface.[3] Boats picked up all her crew from the water.[4][5] She was later broken up.
