Topic: HMS Pallas


In the News (Wed 9 Dec 09)

  
  Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a child he was fictitiously listed on the ship's books of the Royal Navy ship commanded by his uncle but officially joined in 1793 at the age of seventeen, upon the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars.
He first served aboard HMS Hind and in 1795 was appointed acting lieutenant on HMS Thetis.
In 1800 Cochrane was appointed to command the sloop HMS Speedy in which he achieved his most famous exploit, the capture of the Spanish xebec El Gamo, 32 guns and 319 men compared to Speedy's 14 guns and 54 men, on 6 May 1801.

On the same morning, while the Pallas lay at an anchor awaiting the return of her boats, two armed ships and a brig making many signals, were observed coming down towards the former.
On the 25th of April, 1806, the Pallas was detached by Vice-admiral Thornborough, cruising with a small squadron off the Tour des Baleines, to reconnoitre the French squadron at anchor in the road of the Isle of Aix.
The Pallas, a frigate of 667 tons, built of fir in the year 1804, was armed on the main deck with the 26 long 12- Pounders of her class, and upon her quarterdeck and forecastle with 12 carronades, 24-Pounders, total 38 guns.

Pallas set off in pursuit of the northern bound ship while The Bonhomme Richard and the Vengeance went after the southern one.
On the morning of September 23, 1779, a day which would be remembered in American History for more than five hundred years, The Bonhomme Richard and its fleet spotted, and began to chase a large ship that appeared to be the ship that John Paul Jones had forced ashore the night before.
At quarter past seven that evening, Richard and the English warship (called the HMS Serapis) were on parallel courses and were approximately 800 feet apart from one another.
