HMS Eugenie (or Eugenia) was the French privateer Nouvelle Eugénie, launched at Nantes in 1796 that the British Royal Navy captured in 1797 and took into service. As a brig-sloop she served in the Channel, primarily escorting convoys, and was sold in 1803.
Nouvelle Eugénie was built between 1796-1797 and was commissioned in 1797 under Joachim Barbier. [3]
On a cruise in March 1797 she captured Spencer, which was carrying a cargo of coffee, sugar, and cotton from the West Indies, and sent her into Lorient. [4] [5]
On 11 May, Indefatigable in company with Phoebe (1795), Cleopatra, Childers, and the hired armed lugger Duke of York captured Nouvelle Eugénie. She was a razee privateer of 16 guns and carried a crew of 120 men. She was four days out of Nantes on a 30-day cruise, but had taken no prizes. [6] The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS Eugenie.
Between 9 August and 27 November 1797 Eugenie was at Plymouth undergoing fitting. Part of the work involved changing her from a ship rig to a brig. Commander Philip Somerville commissioned her in October for the Downs. [2]
On 9 April 1799 Eugenie captured Welvaart Van Pillau. [7]
Eugenie was in company with the hired armed cutter Flirt on 11 May 1799 when they re-captured the brigs Betsey, of Liverpool, and Four Sisters, of Sunderland. [8] Eugenie also recaptured the Danish galliott Tre Sostre or Drie Gezusters. [9]
Eugenie. and the hired armed cutters Nox and Ann were in company on 23 May when Ann captured the four-gun privateer lugger Aimable Therese. [a]
Lloyd's List reported on 7 April 1801 that Eugenie had recaptured the brig Juno, Wallace, master. A French privateer had captured Juno near Dungeness as Juno was sailing from Lynn to Penzance. Eugenie sent Juno into Dover. The same privateer had captured a brig carrying corn and sent her into France. [11] Juno was a small, two-year old coasting brig of 72 tons (bm). [12]
In August Eugenie sustained casualties while participating in Lord Nelson's unsuccessful raids on Boulogne. She suffered three seamen killed and one officer and five seamen wounded. [13]
On 26 November the Swedish East Indiaman Sophia Magdalena ran onshore near Kingsdown on the South Foreland. Eugenie and HMS Anacreon came as close as they could and rendered assistance. [14]
In May 1802 Commander Fasham Roby replaced Somerville. [2]
The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Eugenie sloop, 241 tons", lying at Deptford for sale on 1 December 1802. [15] Mr. Freake finally purchased her on 3 January 1803. [2]
