HMS Dominica was a schooner that the British purchased in 1805 in the Leeward Islands.[Note 1] Her crew mutinied in 1806, turning her over to the French, who immediately sent her out as the privateer Napoléon. The British recaptured her four days after the mutiny and returned her to their service. In British service she captured some six small privateers. She was broken up in 1808.
