The French Navy captured her off Toulon about a year after her commissioning and took her into service as ''Proserpine''. She served in various capacities such as a frigate, troopship, hospital ship, and prison hulk until 1865. == HMS ''Proserpine'', and capture== Captain Charles Otter commissioned ''Proserpine'' in September 1807. He then sailed her to the Mediterranean on 6 March 18088.〔 The British sent ''Proserpine'' to sail off Toulon to observe and report on the movements of the French fleet. Captain Bernard Dubourdieu analyzed her patrol pattern, leading the French to send his frigate, ''Pénélope'', accompanied by ''Pauline'', to approach her in the night. They pretended to be the British relief that Otter was expecting and succeeded in engaging her at short range. In the ensuing Action of 27 February 1809, ''Proserpine'' had her rigging severely damaged; with no hope of escape or rescue, she struck her colours after a one-hour battle than claimed the life of one of her men, and wounded ten others, one mortally.〔 ''Pénélope'' towed ''Proserpine'' to Toulon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French frigate Proserpine (1809)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
