French frigate Trave (1812)

After the Royal Navy captured her in 1813 in the North Sea, it took her into service as the troopship HMS Trave.

She was armed with twenty-eight French 18-pounder long guns and sixteen 18-pounder carronades, and had a crew of 321 men, almost all Dutch.

[4] At the time of the capture the ketch HMS Gleaner was in sight,[5] though it is not clear what she could have added had the engagement lasted longer.

[6] Trave was part of a fleet of some dozen warships and several transports that was carrying Major-General Ross and some 2500 men from three regiments to invade North America.

The fleet left on 2 June, stopped in at St Michels, in the Azores, and arrived at Bermuda 24 July.

The British, under the command of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane then moved up the Patuxent on 20 August, preparing for a landing at Benedict.

[6] The United States's Secretary of the Navy Jones had ordered Commodore Joshua Barney to take his Chesapeake Bay Flotilla as far up the Patuxent as possible, to Queen Anne, and scuttle it if the British appeared.

Leaving his barges with a skeleton crew under the command of Lieutenant Solomon Kireo Frazier to handle any destruction of the craft, Barney took the majority of his men to join the American Army commanded by General William Henry Winder.

In 1835 there was a payment of prize money to Trave's crew, and those of numerous other British vessels, for "the capture of the Chesapeake.

[c] On 8 January 1815, during the battle of New Orleans, Money commanded the naval contingent in Lieutenant-colonel Thornton's brigade, which carried out a successful attack on the American position on the western bank of the Mississippi.
