She served in the Potomac and her boats participated in the Battle of Lake Borgne during the War of 1812. She was sold on 7 June 1821. ==Capture== On 30 September ''Trave'' and ''Weser'' left the Texel to cruise the Western Islands. However, on 16 October, a gale dismasted both, and separated them. On 21 October, the frigate , and the brigs and captured ''Weser''. Fortuitously, that same day the brig encountered ''Trave'' and the two exchanged fire that wounded two men aboard ''Trave''. However, ''Trave'' was able to extricate herself from the engagement. The next day ''Trave'' was less fortunate. On 23 October ''Andromache'' captured ''Trave'' after an engagement of only 15 minutes. ''Trave'', although a new vessel, had lost her masts in a storm and was sailing under jury-rigged masts and so unable to maneuver. She was armed with twenty-eight French 18-pounder long guns and sixteen 18-pounder carronades, and had a crew of 321 men, almost all Dutch. Before she struck she had one man killed, and 28 men wounded, including her commander ''capitaine de frégate'' Jacob Van Maren, ''Chevalier de L'ordre Imperiale de la Reunion''. ''Andromache'' had little damage and only two men wounded. At the time of the capture the ketch was in sight, though it is not clear what she could have added had the engagement lasted longer. More importantly, the frigate was also in sight as ''Trave'' struck.〔 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 Trave (1812)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
