Mignonne was an 18-gun Etna-class corvette of the French Navy, launched in 1795. She served until 1803 when the British captured her. Though she served briefly, there is no record of her actually being commissioned into the Royal Navy; she grounded and was condemned in 1804. French service and captureMignonne was built in Cherbourg from 1794 to 1797 and was launched on 15 October 1795. Between 3 and 16 September 1797, she served at Cherbourg under commander Jourdan.[3]Under Lieutenant Yset, she took part in the Caribbean campaign led by Admiral Louis Thomas Villaret de Joyeuse in 1803. She was involved in the capture of Fort Graville on 6 February, and Camp de Louise on 8 February.[4] {{main|Action of 28 June 1803}}On 28 June 1803, as she sailed with the frigate Poursuivante, she encountered a British convoy off San Domingo, part of the Blockade of Saint-Domingue. One of the escorts, HMS Goliath, was sailing inshore off Cape Nicholas Mole, to try to find two vessels seen earlier. She encountered Mignonne at 10:45, and after a few shots captured her at 11:45.[5][6] In Captain James Brisbane's words, Mignonne was a "remarkable fast sailing Ship Corvette". She carried sixteen long 18-pounder guns, six of which she had landed.{{refn|Admiral Markham, who ordered Mignonne surveyed and valued prior to purchase, stated that she was carrying ten guns, having left eight at Aux-Cayes (Les Cayes).[7]|group=Note}} Her crew of only 80 men was under Commander Jean-Pierre Bargeau,[8] and she was two days out of Aux-Cayes, sailing to France via the Cape.[5] British serviceMignonne was among a number of British prizes that arrived at Jamaica between 2 and 16 July.[9]The Royal Navy took her into service as the 18-gun ship sloop HMS Mignonne, but never commissioned her.[1] Her captain was Commander Edward Hawker.[10] In June 1804 Mignonne ran ashore off Lucca, Jamaica. Desiree was towing her to Port Royal when on 9 July at 0100 hours a bolt of lightning struck Mignonne, killing three seamen, injuring five (or nine), and causing some damage to the ship.[11][12] Hawker reported that the bolt shattered the topmast and split the mainmast to the keelson.[13] On 13 October Mignonne captured the French brig St. Antonio y les Animas, which was in ballast.[14] FateIn December 1804 Mignonne was laid in the mud at Port Royal, Jamaica.[15] She was then condemned.[1] Notes, citations, and referencesNotes1. ^1 2 3 Winfield (2008), pp. 232 & 272. 2. ^Winfield and Roberts (2015), p. 173. 3. ^Fonds Marine, Vol. 1, p.195. 4. ^Fonds Marine, Vol. 1, p.268. 5. ^1 {{London Gazette|pages=1228–1229|issue=15620|date=13 September 1803}} 6. ^Troude (1867), pp.44-45. 7. ^Markham (1904), p.89. 8. ^Fonds Marine, p.286 9. ^Lloyd's List, no. 4385, -accessed 5 February 2014. 10. ^He had been promoted to Commander in 1803 and he received his promotion to post captain in June 1804, though he served on Mignonne for some time thereafter. 11. ^The Nautical magazine: a journal of papers on subjects connected ..., Volume 3, p.436. 12. ^Naval Chronicle, Vol. 12, p.336. 13. ^Harris (1843), p.147. 14. ^{{London Gazette|page=133|issue=15670|date=28 January 1804}} 15. ^Gossett (1986), p.45.
