French brig Palinure (1804)

After being taken into the Royal Navy as HMS Snap, she participated in two campaigns that qualified her crew for the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM).

[6] On the morning of 22 April 1808 in Grande Bourg Bay at Marie Galante, Palinure and Pilade encountered Goree, under Commander Joseph Spear.

Superieure exchanged some shots with the French brigs but the other two British vessels arrived too late actually to engage.

[9] On 13 November Palinure was commissioned at Antigua as HMS Snap under Commander James Pattison Stewart,[5] who transferred from Port d'Espagne.

There she provided cover for the troops landing at Little Cool Bay to encourage the Dutch governor to surrender his part of the island.
