HMS Nova Scotia was a Royal Navy 20-gun post-ship built in 1812 during the Napoleonic Wars. The ship was primarily used for convoy escort duties and patrolling the waters off Nova Scotia, Canada. It had a crew of about 121 men and was armed with a mix of carronades and long guns. The ship's career was relatively uneventful, with no major battles or significant incidents recorded. In 1826, the HMS Nova Scotia was sold out of service and later converted into a merchant vessel. The ship's fate after its naval career remains largely unknown, with no definitive records of its final years or ultimate fate. The HMS Nova Scotia represents a typical example of the many warships used by the Royal Navy during the early 19th century for protection and patrol duties in various regions around the world.
