Prince Regent was a schooner constructed for Upper Canada's Provincial Marine for use on Lake Ontario. Built just before the beginning of the War of 1812, the vessel took part in the attack on Sackett's Harbor, New York. With the arrival of the Royal Navy in the Great Lakes under the command of Commodore James Lucas Yeo in 1813, the vessel was renamed HMS Lord Beresford or General Beresford, or Beresford. The British detachment on the lake engaged the American naval squadron and attacked American positions in the Niagara region, while supporting British armies. In 1814, the British detachment on Lake Ontario was re-organised and Beresford was re-rigged as a brig and renamed HMS Netley. Sent to support British troop movements in southern Upper Canada, Netley was blockaded in the Niagara River with five other British vessels. During this time, members of the vessel's crew took part in the Siege of Fort Erie, participating in the capture of two American schooners. During the operation, Netley's commanding officer was killed. Following the end of the war, Netley was laid up at Kingston, Upper Canada and was sold in the 1830s to be broken up.
