HMS Pert (1804)
HMS ''Pert'' was the French privateer ''Bonaparte'' that captured in November 1804. The Royal Navy took ''Bonaparte'' into service as HMS ''Pert''. ''Pert'' was wrecked off the coast of what is now Venezuela in October 1807.
==French privateer==
On 21 June 1804 ''Bonaparte'' encountered the 18-gun off Antigua. Captain Kenneth Mackenzie (or M'Kenzie) of ''Hippomenes'' took advantage of her Dutch design, Mackenzie had disguised her as a Guinea trader. ''Buonaparte'', of Guadeloupe, was armed with 18 long 8-pounders and a crew of 146 men under the command of Captain Paimpéni. He sighted ''Hippomenes'' and sailed to take her. The two vessels exchanged fire until ''Buonaparte'' ran into ''Hippomenes''. Mackenzie had his crew lash the privateer's bowsprit to the mainmast and jumped on board the privateer, followed by his officers and a few men, some 18 in all. Unfortunately, the rest of the crew, a particularly poor lot, refused to follow. In the fight on the privateer, the British lost five dead and eight wounded; only nine of the original 18 managed to escape back to ''Hippomenes'' (two officers and two men remained on board ''Buonaparte'' as prisoners). The boarding party barely got back in time before the lashings gave way and the vessels parted, at which time ''Bonaparte'' sailed away. On ''Hippomenes'' his wounds rendered Mackenzie himself senseless for a while. In the engagement prior to the boarding, the ''Buonaparte'' had lost five dead and 15 wounded. she then returned to Pointe-à-Pitre roads.
