The Same Falcon?[edit]

There are several references to the hired vessel Falcon, or hired armed vessel Falcon, participating in the prize money from the Vlieter Incident of 30 August 1799 when the Dutch fleet surrendered near the island of Texel to a British operation involving some 86 vessels and several regiments. Was this the same Falcon as this article, or can the connection be positively discarded ??
References include London Gazette Issue 15533 page 1213 of 16 November 1802, also LG Issue 15455 page 187 of 20 February 1802 and more. Viking1808 (talk) 08:33, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
