Henriette was a French privateer commissioned in Bordeaux in late 1803. She served in the Bay of Biscay until mid-1804, and then in the Indian Ocean, based at Île de France (now Mauritius). The 74-gun HMS Powerful captured her in June 1806 off Ceylon. French serviceCommissioned in late 1803 under Thomas Henry (or Henri),{{refn|Henry was an ex-English privateer.[2]|group=Note}} Henriette cruised in the Bay of Biscay until June 1804. She then crossed to Île de France, where she undertook three cruises, capturing several large British merchantmen.[1] Soon after his arrival at Île de France on 17 August, Henry left Port Louis on a cruise, only to have to return quickly, pursued by {{HMS|Lancaster|1797|6}} and {{HMS|Phaeton|1782|6}}.[2] Henry then embarked on 12 September on the first of two more successful cruises. Apparently some of Henriette{{'}}s guns, two 12-pounder carronades, came from the East Indiaman {{ship||Admiral Aplin|1802 EIC ship|2}}, which the French privateer Psyche had captured in January.[3] On 12 October he captured the Faza-Soubany (or Fazzy Soubani), of 500 tons (bm), Fryer, master, sailing from Bombay to Bengal.[3] Then on 26 October he captured Friendship. Friendship, of two guns and 380 tons, was carrying a cargo of rice, indigo, and cotton.[11] The next day Henry captured the Sha Allum, of two guns and 380 tons (bm). She was carrying pepper, indigo, and cotton. Two days later he captured the Marguerite, of two guns and 280 tons (bm). She was carrying sugar, indigo, and cotton.[11] On 12 November Henry captured the James Sybald, of ten guns and 1,000 tons (bm); she had a cargo of rice. (James Sibald had been sailing from Bengal to Bombay.[4]) Henriette then returned to Port Louis on 10 December.[2] Henry and Henriette left on their second cruise on 9 January 1805. On 3 February they captured the East Indiaman {{ship||Coromandel|1793 ship|2}}.[2]{{refn|English records give the date of capture as 15 March 1805.[5]|group=Note}} Coromandel was described as being of 450 tons and armed with fourteen 9-pounder guns. In May 1806 Lloyd's List reported that the French privateers Bellone (under Jacques François Perroud), Henriette, and {{ship||Caroline|1804 ship|2}} (under Nicolas Surcouf) had captured a number of merchantmen in the Bay of Bengal:[6] {{unbulleted list|Prince of Wales, from Sumatra to Bengal|Mellville, Haig, master, from Bengal to Muscat|Waldegrave, from China to Bengal|Commerce, Dundas, master, from Sumatra to Bengal|and Robust, Waters, master, and Phoenix, Gillespee, master, both from Bengal.}}The privateers gave up the Robust to their prisoners. She arrived at Bengal on 4 December 1805.[6] On 17 September 1805 Henry captured Viper, of eight guns and 12 swivel guns. Lloyd's List reported that "Henrietta" had captured "the East India Company's Brig the Viper" at {{coord|9|10|N|7|5|E}}.[7][8] A month later, on 13 November, Henriette captured Phoenix, of 600 tons (bm). Henriette returned to Port Louis on 26 March 1806.[2] In April 1806, command of Henriette passed to Auguste Sagory.[1] Henriette left Port Louis on 7 April, and on 6 May captured Dawetz-Nissaint on 6 May.[2] FateOn 13 June {{HMS|Powerful|1783|6}} captured Henriette off Trincomalee, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).[1][9] Powerful had received intelligence of her presence in the area and set out from Trincomalee on the 11th. Powerful sighted Henriette on the morning of the 13th. After an 11-hour chase, during which Henriette fired her stern guns at Powerful without effect, Powerful succeeded in catching up to her quarry, which surrendered without further combat. During the chase, Henriette{{'}}s crew had thrown four of her 6-pounder guns overboard in an attempt to lighten her and so gain speed.[10] Head money was paid for Henriette in January 1814.[11] Notes, citations, and referencesNotes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Demerliac, p. 286 (no 2283) Citations{{reflist|30em}}References2. ^1 2 3 4 5 Austen (1935), pp.100-1. 3. ^1 The Asiatic Annual Register, Or, A View of the History of Hindustan, and of the Politics, Commerce and Literature of Asia for the Year 1805 (1807), pp.65-67. 4. ^1 2 Lloyd's List №4245 - accessed 98 October 2015. 5. ^Hackman (2001), p.229. 6. ^1 Lloyd's List №4051 - accessed 98 October 2015. 7. ^Lloyd's List №5053 - accessed 9 October 2015. 8. ^The reported longitude is clearly grossly in error as that would put the locus of capture within Nigeria. 9. ^Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p179. 10. ^1 2 {{London Gazette|issue=16013|page=378|date=23 March 1807}} 11. ^{{London Gazette|issue=16852|page=288|date=5 February 1814}}
