HMS Ems was a Dutch schuyt that the Royal Navy captured in 1809.[1] She appears to have had a completely uneventful career; in 1812 and 1813 she was at Yarmouth.[3] She was converted to a water carrier, probably in 1813. In December 1815 the Admiralty put three schuyts, Patriot, Jahde, and Ems up for sale at Chatham.[2] All sold in 1815.[1]
