Hello Curt, Your list certainly sounds interesting, and many British ships were indeed American built, but remember that the Enterprise was not necessarily originally bearing that name. The two things that may be useful to you are that she was built in 1809, and that she was rated at 151 tons, but she does not appear in Lloyd's Registers before 1825, least ways not as "Enterprise". She may be there, but under a different name, only changing to Enterprise on acquiring a new owner. Or, she was known as Enterprise but being a brig was only used for local coastal work and not registered with Lloyds. From 1829 she disappears from Lloyd's Register yet again. Once again there are several possibilities - change of owner and name; or scrapped, wrecked, or reverted to local coastal work.
