Action of 21 April 1806

The Action of 21 April 1806 was a minor engagement between a French frigate and British forces off South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars. The Île Bonaparte and Île de France constituted French outposts in the Indian Ocean, from which privateers and frigate squadrons could engage in commerce raiding and disrupt British shipping. After encountering a strongly escorted British convoy, the 40-gun ''Cannonière'' attempted to flee, but was rejoined by the 74-gun ]. In the ensuing battle, Captain Bourayne displayed superior sailmanship and managed to fend off his much strong opponent by a combination of manoeuvers that rendered the batteries of ''Tremendous'' ineffective, and threatened her of sustaining raking fire. The French frigate thus managed to evade and escape.
==Background==
In 1806, a French squadron under admiral Linois operated the Indian Ocean. In addition to the usual frigates and corvettes, in this case the , , and , the flaghip of the squadron was a 74-gun ship of the line, the ''Marengo''.
On 14 November 1805, the 40-gun ''Canonnière'' sailed from Cherbourg under Captain César-Joseph Bourayne in order to reinforce and resupply Linois's squadron. She arrived at Ile de France in April, but failed to find Linois's forces; unbeknownst to Bourayne, the squadron had been destroyed in the Action of 13 March 1806. Hoping to join Linois, ''Canonnière'' sailed to patrol the Indian Ocean.
