Dame Ernouf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At least three French privateers during the Napoleonic Wars were named Dame Ernouf, for Geneviève Miloent, wife of Jean Augustin Ernouf, governor of Guadeloupe:

  • Dame Ernouf (1805–1805), was a 200-ton brig with a crew of about 100 men and armed with sixteen 6-pounder guns.[1] She was under Captain Vilac.[2] HMS Curieux captured her on 8 February 1805 and the Royal Navy took her into service as HMS Seaforth. Seaforth foundered later that year.
  • Dame Ernouf (1806–1806), was a privateer of 150 men and 17 guns.[3] HMS Heureux captured her on 30 March 1806.
