Fate
In October 1810, Leander was fitted as a medical depot ship at Portsmouth. By 1807 Leander was out of commission at Portsmouth. In 1808 she was in Plymouth, but was back in Portsmouth in 1811. In 1813 the Admiralty commissioned a new Leander so the old Leander was given the name Hygeia. Hygeia was sold on 14 April 1817 to a Mr. Thomas for £2,100.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“And last of all, high over thought, in the world of morals, Fate appears as vindicator, levelling the high, lifting the low, requiring justice in man, and always striking soon or late when justice is not done. What is useful will last, what is hurtful will sink.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And though in tinsel chain and popcorn rope
My tree, a captive in your window bay,
Has lost its footing on my mountain slope
And lost the stars of heaven, may, oh, may
The symbol star it lifts against your ceiling
Help me accept its fate with Christmas feeling.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It seems our fate to be incorrect ... and in our incorrectness stand.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
