Jean Dornal de Guy〔The name is sometimes written "Dornaldeguy"()〕 (13 October 1771 in Urrugne – 10 May 1855 in Saint Jean de Luz〔(Nos PARENTS Déportés En Corse En 1802 ), prevalhaiti.com〕) was a French naval officer. == Career == In 1803, Dornal de Guy ranked Commander and served in the flottilla at the Camp de Boulogne. On 7 August, a British brig and a cutter anchored off Boulogne; the next day, Dornal de Guy received the order from Bruix to attack the ships with five boats; due to the tides, he could sail only the next day at 3 in the morning. The British put to sail and exchanged gun fire with the boats, before retreating.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', vol. 3, p. 295.〕 In 1805, Dornal de Guy captained the frigate ''Félicité'', in the Brest squadron. In 1806, he ferried troops, weapons and ammunitions from Brest to San Domingo, where he arrived in time to take part in the Battle of San Domingo. ''Félicité'' was among the three French ships that survived the battle, and she returned to Lorient on 26 March 1806.〔Fonds marine〕 In 1807, Dornal de Guy was appointed captain of the ''Manche'' at Cherbourg. Along with the brig ''Cygne'', under Menouvrier Defresne, ''Manche'' had several encounters with HMS ''Uranie'', under Captain Christopher Laroche. On 20 June, ''Uranie'' made a luckwarm attack on the brig, to which the French harldy reacted. The incident later led to the court-martial and eventual dismissal of Laroche.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', vol. 3, p. 481.〕〔James, ''op. cit.'', (p. 340 )〕 ''Manche'' captured the 16 gun brig-sloop on 27 September 1808 near Bengkulu.〔 In 1809, ''Manche'' was dispatched from Cherbourg to Port-Louis at Ile de France to replace the aging ''Sémillante'', that had been decommissioned and sold to Robert Surcouf. Dornal de Guy arrived on 6 March, and after a one-month leave, ''Manche'' undertook her first cruise in the Mozambique Channel.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', vol. 3, p. 502.〕 Along with ''Vénus'', she took part in the Action of 18 November 1809, capturing three large Indiamen. Dornal de Guy eventually returned to Ile de France after an eight-month patrol, along with ''Créole'' and two of the prizes. After the capture of Jacques Hamelin at the Action of 18 September 1810, Dornal de Guy became the senior naval officer of the French forces in the Indian ocean. In November, seeing that the British forces received sustained reinforcements, he moored his ships (''Manche'', ''Astrée'', ''Bellone'' and ''Minerve'') and disambarked the crews to reinforce the garrison of Port Louis. The Invasion of Île de France occurred in November, and the island surrendered the next month.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', vol. 4, p. 115〕 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「Jean Dornal de Guy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
