High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Pickle was a 10-gun topsail schooner of the Royal Navy. She was originally a civilian vessel named Sting, one of several vessels Captain William Frederick Watkins of HMS Nereide seized when he captured the Dutch island of Curacao in 1800. Lord Hugh Seymour formally purchased her in January 1801 as an armed tender; she was renamed Pickle in 1802. However, on 30 June 1800 Pickle and Gipsy had captured the French privateer Fidele on the Leeward Island station. Sting may have been known as Pickle on station long before the Admiralty made her name change official.
