Armed brig Kite

In September 1840, the Kite, a Government armed brig, was wrecked in the Gulf of Hang-chow-foo, and Mr. Noble, the Master, with his child and several of the crew, drowned. Lieutenant Douglas commanded the * Kite.' Lieutenant Douglas, Mrs. Noble, and others, who escaped from the wreck were made prisoners by the Chinese, and sent to Ningpo^[1]. Is this HMS kite?

@Shipsview: - it could be HMS Kite (1826). The ship in question was certainly involved in some sort of incident, but if it is the ship I mentioned it wasn't wrecked. Am currently working through contemporary newspapers so might discover more. Mjroots (talk) 14:20, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out that it wasn't HMS Kite involved, but a schooner in the opium trade. Mjroots (talk)
