Austin Bissell

He was captain of the captured French frigate Créole when she sank on a journey from Jamaica to England.

On Tuesday 3 January 1804, Bissell took command of the captured French frigate Créole in Port Royal, Jamaica.

However, the ship foundered en route to Britain; nearby British vessels saved Bissell and his crew.

[1][2] Bissell died in 1807 when the 74-gun HMS Blenheim, of which he was then captain, foundered in the Indian Ocean.

Bissell wrote a biography of Commodore John Blankett's voyages in the Middle East and India.
