French corvette <i>Revenant</i>

Revenant was a 20-gun privateer corvette, launched in 1807, and designed by Robert Surcouf for commerce raiding. The French Navy later requisitioned her and renamed her Iéna, after Napoleon's then-recent victory. The British captured her and she served in the Royal Navy as HMS Victor. The French Navy recaptured her in 1809, and she served for a year under her original name. The British again captured her when they captured Isle de France in December 1810. They did not restore her to service and she was subsequently broken up.

Frederick and Maria was launched in 1810 at Chittagong as the country ship Harriett Shakespeare, and quickly renamed. She visited Port Jackson in 1811, and otherwise traded in the Far East. She was reported to have disappeared in a hurricane in 1817. However, the report was in error and she continued to trade with India. Her last voyage appears to have occurred in 1819, though she is listed for some years after that.
