HMS Volage (1807)

HMS Volage (1807)

HMS "Volage" was a sixth rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She served during the Napoleonic Wars.

"Volage" was built by Chapman, of Bideford and was launched on 23 March 1807. She was sent to the Mediterranean in 1808, soon after completion under Captain Rosenhagen. In 1811 she was taken over by Captain Phipps Hornby and served in the Adriatic, fighting at the Battle of Lissa and driving off a much larger French ship during the action. Following this victory, "Volage" was sent to the East Indies under Captain Mackay and in 1814 was serving on the Halifax station during the War of 1812. Her last active commission was in 1815 in the West Indies before returning to Britain. She was sold on 29 January 1818.
