Overview

His Majesty's hired armed ship Harlequin served the British Royal Navy from 2 July 1804 until she was wrecked on 7 December 1809. She was of 185 tons (bm), and she carried an armament of ten 6-pounder guns, eight 12-pounder carronades, and two swivel guns. During her service with the Royal Navy Harlequin captured a number of prizes. In 1809, she was wrecked near Newhaven as she was escorting a convoy in the Channel. Letter of Marque The hired armed ship Harlequin probably was the ship Harlequin that received a letter of marque on 27 August 1803. Her master was John Dyer and her description on the warrant gave her burthen as 180 tons, her armament as twenty 6 and 12-pounder cannons, and her crew as consisting of 70 men. In late May the privateer Harlequin, under the command of Captain Jenkins, arrived at Fowey from Oporto. She reported that while at Oporto in early 1804, Harlequins boat, with Captain Dyer and five other men, was swamped. A Portuguese boat rescued a Mr. Hall, but the other five were all drowned. Then in April, while she was off Cape Finisterre, she had repelled a French vessel but only after losing one man killed and nine wounded. Next, on 9 May, she had driven a French schooner of four carriage guns and 40 men ashore three leagues south of Viana where the schooner went to pieces. Naval service In February 1806, Harlequin sent into Portsmouth Vigilantia, Hersels, master, sailing from Bordeaux to Altona.

Notable quotes

“People hunger for love, and clowning is a trick to get love close. As a clown I can do things that people are too frightened of Love to allow you to do.”
— Patch Adams, in "Patch Adams and clowns spreading laughter at hospital" at Humankind (2 March 2016)
“I remain just one thing, and one thing only — and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.”
— Charlie Chaplin, as quoted in The Observer (17 June 1960)
“Though the clown is often deadpan, he is a connoisseur of laughter.”
— Mel Gussow, about Avner Eisenberg in his broadway show Avner the Eccentric in The New York Times (21 September 1984)
“I'm a big goofball. In Australia we call it a dag. … It's quite an affectionate term, but it means your basically a big goofball. I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.”
— Hugh Jackman, as quoted in ‪The Advocate ‬No. 898 (16 ‪‪September 2003‬‬), p. 46
“A clown's makeup and character, that's all he has to sell. He loves and believes in that character.”
— Emmett Kelly, quoted in The Greeley Daily Tribune (21 June 1975)
“You gotta believe me, Mandy! The clowns are nothing but ultimate evil! They want to be the dominant species on the planet and they’ll destroy us all to make it happen! Destroy us all! Destroy us all!”
— Billy (Richard Horvitz) in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: Attack of the Clowns (2004)
