HMS Hinchinbrook (1778)
HMS ''Hinchinbrook'' was the French privateer ''Astrée'', which the British captured in 1778 and took into the Royal Navy as a 28-gun sixth-rate frigate.〔The spelling of the name was widely varied, and numerous versions exist even in the current literature. Variations include ''Hinchinbroke'', ''Hinchinbrooke'', ''Hinchingbroke'', ''Hinchingbrook'' and ''Hinchingbrooke''.〕 She was Captain Horatio Nelson's second navy command, after the brig , and his first as post-captain. She was wrecked, with no loss of life, in January 1783.
==Privateering career==
The ''Hinchinbrook'' started life as the French merchant vessel ''Astrée'', built in 1778 at Nantes,〔 and her owners were Guilliaume and Son, of that city.〔 She was carrying a cargo of bricks and bale goods from Nantes when a British squadron under Captain Joseph Deane in captured her off Cape François, on 13 October 1778. She was described as being a ship of 650 tons, armed with 14 guns, and under the command of Louis David, master. A prize crew then took her into port, where the Royal Navy purchased her for the sum of £5,650 on 1 December 1778, renaming her as a courtesy to Viscount Hinchinbroke, eldest son of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty in Lord North's administration.
