François-André Baudin
François-André Baudin (2 December 1774 - Strasbourg, 18 June 1842) was a French naval officer. His nephew Auguste Baudin was a colonial governor and naval officer.
==Life==
He took part in the Baudin expedition to Australia, led by his namesake Nicolas Baudin, leaving Le Havre on 19 October 1800. He was a lieutenant de vaisseau on board the ''Géographe'', a vessel whose officers also included an ensign (''aspirant'') called Charles Baudin. François-André Baudin fell ill and was left behind on île de France in April 1801.〔''Voyage de découvertes aux terres australes'', François Péron.〕
Under the First French Empire, François-André Baudin rose to capitaine de vaisseau, commanding a force made up of the frigate ''Topaze'' (his flagship), the corvettes ''Département-des-Landes'' (captained by Desmontils) and ''Torche'' (captained by Dehen) and the brig ''Faune'' (captained by Brunet). Cruising off Barbados, this force captured the British frigate ''Blanche'', though ''Faune'' and ''Torche'' were later captured by the ship of the line , the frigate and . ''Topaze'' was also involved in the action with the ''Raisonnable'' and managed to escape to the Tagus.
In November 1809 Baudin was ordered to take the 80-gun ships of the line ''Robuste'' and ''Borée'', the 74-gun ''Lion'' and the frigates ''Pauline'' and ''Pomone'' and escort a twenty ship convoy from Toulon to Barcelona to supply the Napoleonic forces fighting the Peninsular War. This French force was met by a hugely superior British squadron under George Martin. Seeing that the enemy had gained speed and was trying to block his path, Baudin ordered his ships to make for land as fast as possible, but this only led to the ''Robuste'' and ''Lion'' going aground - to deny them to the British, Baudin ordered them set on fire and scuttled near Frontignan. Captain Senèz, commanding the ''Borée'', stayed further offshore whilst still obeying Boudin's orders - he passed through the middle of the British squadron and escaped into the port of Sète, normally too small for ships of the line.
