[1] The British Royal Navy captured her in March 1799 off Syria and her captors took her into service as the gunbrig HMS Marie Rose.
[2] Marie-Rose was one of a flotilla of seven vessels that Commodore Sir Sidney Smith in HMS Tigre took at Acre on 18 March 1799, all of which the British took into service.
Smith immediately put the guns and supplies to use to help the denizens of the city resist the French, and the gun-vessels to harass them.
Smith anchored Tigre and HMS Theseus, one on each side of the town, so their broadsides could assist the defence.
On 21 May he destroyed his siege train and retreated back to Egypt, having lost 2,200 men dead, 1,000 of them to the plague.
