French frigate Surveillante (1802)
The ''Surveillante'' entered service as a 40-gun ''Virginie'' class frigate of the French Navy. She was surrendered to the British in 1803, after which she served in the Royal Navy, classed under the British system as a 38 gun vessel, until 1814 when she was decommissioned. HMS ''Surveillante'' had a long and active career under two successful and distinguished commanders, from the Baltic to the North-Western coasts of France, Spain and Portugal, and was present at the Battle of Copenhagen (1807) and throughout the Peninsula War. Her record as a taker of prizes is notable for its success, particularly towards the end of her career.
==1803 - British capture==
''Surveillante'' was present at Saint Domingue (Haiti) in November 1803 during the revolt of slaves against the French, and was trapped by the British blockade of Saint-Domingue. The French naval commander who was also ''Surveillantes Captain, Henry Barre, prevailed upon British Commodore John Loring's representative, Captain John Bligh, to accept the capitulation of the ''Surveillante'', in order to put her, as well as her crew and passengers, under British protection. The former slaves threatened to fire red hot shot at the ship from the overlooking forts.
The British naval Commander-in-Chief of the Jamaica station Admiral Sir John Duckworth, accepted the French commander General Rochambeau, his staff and entourage, as prisoners. Duckworth wrote "From General Rochambeau's extraordinary conduct in the public service, neither Captain Bligh or myself have any thing to say to him further than complying with his wishes in allowing him to remain on board the ''Surveillante'' until her arrival at Jamaica." Another French frigate, the HMS ''Clorinde'', suffered the loss of her rudder and was temporarily beached, although she was re-floated and taken as a prize.〔Sir John Duckworth, ''letter from the London Gazette published on 4 February 1804'', http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/15672/pages/164. Retrieved 2 November 2009〕 Consequently both frigates were brought into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Surveillante'' and HMS ''Clorinde''. ''Surveillante'', newly built, was bought into the Service quickly; the first recorded Navy Pay Office Ships' Pay Books from the Navy Board commenced from 11 July 1804.〔Sir John Duckworth, ''Navy Board: Navy Pay Office: Ships' Pay Books 11 July 1804 – 30 September 1806'', Records of the Admiralty, The National Archive〕
