Duck (ship)

Several vessels have been named Duck for the duck:

• Duck (1812 ship) was launched in Boston in 1804, presumably under another name. She was taken in prize in 1812 and became a British merchantman. She spent much of her career sailing between Britain and Newfoundland. In 1813 French frigates captured her, but released her. She was wrecked on 15 October 1829.
• Duck (1813 ship) was launched at Stettin, probably under another name. She became a British merchant vessel circa 1813. The USS Peacock captured Duck off the coast of Africa, took off her crew, and sank her.
