during the cruise to the british isles and the winter of 1814/1815 "chasseur" captured eighteen valuable merchant ships, carrying wine, brandy, dry goods, cotton, cocoa, etc. nine of those ships were sent to the united states. one source estimated a total damage to the royal navy from "chasseur"s 1813-1815 activities at one and a half million dollars. the captured goods from alone were valued at $50,000. however, it is important to notice that the royal navy recaptured many of the "chasseur's" prizes, making it harder to estimate the actual loss to british commerce.
