French ship Persanne (1809)

The "Persanne" was a 24-gun "Mérinos" class transport of the French Navy.

On 29 November 1811, "Pauline" ferried a cargoe of 201 bronze and iron cannon, 220 iron wheels for gun carriages and numerous other military stores from Corfu to Trieste, escorted by frigates "Pomone" and "Pauline". The convoy was intercepted by Maxwell's squadron of three frigates. In the ensuing Action of 29 November 1811, "Persanne" fought gallantly for four hours before being captured. "Pomone" was also taken, while "Pauline" fled.
