} |} HMS ''Saldanha'' was a 36-gun ''Apollo''-class frigate of the British Royal Navy, launched in 1809 and wrecked on the coast of Ireland in 1811. Before she was wrecked she participated in the capture of a noted French privateer. ==Service== ''Saldanha'' was first commissioned in April 1810 under Captain John Stuart, who died on 19 March 1811. Captain William Pakenham then was assigned to command her, though in the Spring, ''Saldanha'' was temporarily under the command of Captain Reuben Mangin.〔 On 11 October 1811, and ''Saldanha'', under Pakenham, took the French privateer ''Vice-Amiral Martin''. The privateer carried 18 guns and a crew of 140 men.〔 On this cruise ''Vice-Amiral Martin'' was four days out of Bayonne and had not taken anything. Captain H. Vansitart of ''Fortunee'' remarked that ''Vice-Amiral Martin'' had superior sailing abilities that in the past had helped her escape British cruisers, and that though this time each of the British vessels was doing 11 knots, she would have escaped if the British had not had two vessels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Saldanha (1809)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
