HMS Mosambique (1804)
HMS ''Mosambique'' was the French privateer schooner ''Mosambique'', built in 1798,〔 which the British captured in 1804. She served in the West Indies, engaging in several indecisive single-ship actions before she captured one French privateer. She was sold there in 1810.
==Capture==
On the morning of 13 March 1804, ''Fort Diamond'', the tender to ''Diamond Rock'', was under the command of s first lieutenant, Thomas Forest. ''Fort Diamond'' weathered the Pearl Rock to bear down on a French privateer schooner, ''Mosambique'', which had anchored close to the shore under a battery at Ceron, outside the port of Saint-Pierre, Martinique. In cooperation with ''Emerald'' and ''Pandour'', which sent two boats each to create a diversion, ''Fort Diamond'' ran alongside the schooner, running into her at a rate of about nine knots an hour. At her approach, the schooner's crew fired a broadside and discharged some small arms before all 50 or 60 crewmen jumped overboard and swam ashore. The impact of ''Fort Diamond''s strike broke the chain that anchored the ''Mosambique'' to shore, and the boarding party cut two cables to free her. ''Fort Diamond''s casualties amounted to two men wounded. ''Mosambique'' turned out to be armed with ten 18-pounder carronades, though she was pierced for 14 guns. She was from Guadeloupe and under the command of Citizen Vallentes. In April 1827 head-money was distributed for the capture.
The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS ''Mosambique''.
