Notable action

 *  March 6th, 1723: During the port battle for Cartagena March 16th 1723 HMHV Sabre were badly damaged by concentrated enemy fire and was run ashore in order to prevent her sinking entirely. She were abandoned by her crew and shortly captured by Spanish forces. In the following months Sullivan Shipyards used all available trade connections and a substantial amount of doubloons in an effort to reacquire her, and she were eventually bought back from a local Spanish trade union that planned to use her for parts in another ship. After undergoing major repairs, first in the area of Cartagena and later in St. Johns, she was once again roaming the seas in late 1723.
