Two ships at the end of a battle, the French frigate flying the tricolor at the right, the British ship dismasted at the left, with a rowing boat passing from one to the other. On her second voyage for China as an East Indiaman under the command of Captain Thomas Larkins, the French frigate 'Pi̩montaise' captured her after four hours of resistance. The French subsequently used her as a prison ship then sold her to a Danish company before she was recaptured by the British around 1807.
