Information which did not belong in this article
The following text had been clumsily inserted into the article, but it clearly refers to a different ship and belongs elsewhere:
The Spanish packet, San Juan Nepomuceno, was also used to transport imigrants from the Canary Islands to Louisiana in 1778 when Louisiana was a Spanish colony under Governor Bernardo de Galves. The ship, under the command of Captain Don Domingo Morera, embarked the island of Tenerife on December 9,1778 enroute to the port of New Orleans via Havana, Cuba. There were 202 passengers, 53 were recruits, 48 of which had families. In all, there were about 2010 Islanders, or Islenos as they are still referred to, on 7 ships from November 1778 to May 1779. The Spanish Crown commanded Galves to inlist seven hundred men from the Canary Islands ot protect the colony from the British who were planning to invade and occupy the Province of Louisians. When the recruits arrived with there large families, Galves was forced to use them as buffer settlements and to form a mitilia.
I've recorded it here, as is, in case someone feels this information is worthwhile, though it seems to be an incident in Louisiana colonial history rather than a ship's career.

The fate of HMS San Juan
Very different fate recorded here as opposed to what this article is saying. See https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tEmCbStqqtwC&pg=PA73-IA20&lpg=PA73-IA20&dq=HMS+San+Juan.+Fate:+Paid+off+%26+sold+8+January+1816.&source=bl&ots=jJOGtB5V9A&sig=P_bPWzpI8xytY7la_cA8DAcDc1U&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjzu9KGlezZAhUUesAKHRk_BgUQ6AEIQDAD#v=onepage&q&f=false
