French schooner Ortensia (1807)
The French schooner ''Ortensia'' (or ''Hortensia''), launched at Venice in 1807, was the second of three ''Psiche''-class schooners. All three served in Napoleon's Italian navy. After captured her at the Brionian Islands, the Royal Navy took ''Ortensia'' into service as HMS ''Ortenzia''. She was sold at Malta in 1812.
==Capture==
On the morning of 16 July 1808, Captain John Holligsworth of ''Minstrel'' was off Veruda, when he observed a schooner anchor off "Paul's". As ''Minstrel'' approached, the crew of the schooner fired her guns at ''Minstrel'' and then ran schooner ashore "on one of the Bryone Islands", where they abandoned her. The schooner turned out to be the Italian schooner ''Ortenzia'', pierced for 16 guns but carrying only ten. She had had a crew of 56 men under the command of ''lieutenant de fregate'' Stalamini. Hollingsworth opined that she would be useful in His Majesty's service as she was a "very fast sailing Vessel... Copper bottomed, nearly new".
