HMS Alceste (1806)
HMS ''Alceste'' was a 38-gun frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built at Rochefort in 1804 for the French Navy as the ''Minerve'', an ''Armide''-class frigate. As part of a French squadron, anchored in the roads of the Île-d'Aix, in the spring of 1806, she engaged HMS ''Pallas'', then under Lord Cochrane. During the duel, the ships became entangled and ran aground but Cochrane, having spotted French reinforcements arriving, managed to free his ship and make off.
On 25 September 1806, she was captured by the British and in March 1807, brought into Royal Navy service as HMS ''Alceste''. She continued to serve throughout the Napoleonic Wars and on 29 November 1811, she led a British squadron that captured a French military convoy bound for Trieste, and in doing so, possibly changed the course of the war. In 1814 she was converted to a troopship and used to transport British soldiers to North America during the War of 1812.
Following the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, ''Alceste'' was chosen to carry Lord Amherst on his 1816 diplomatic mission to China, then on the return journey, she foundered on a reef in the Java Sea where, after the evacuation of her passengers and crew, she was plundered and burned by Malayan pirates.
