HMS Cuckoo (1806)

The British observed seven coffins being carried from the French frigate to a church on a nearby hill.

[3][a] Her crew later burnt Seine to prevent her being captured at Anse la Barque during Roquebert's expedition to the Caribbean.

[5][6] Cuckoo accompanied the unsuccessful Walcheren Campaign in July–August 1809, together with her half-sister schooners Pilchard and Porgey.

[9] During the sinking a falling spar broke Paddon’s right shoulder-blade and two of his ribs, injuries that would bother him for the rest of his life.

[10] A later court martial admonished Paddon for relying too heavily on Joseph Delaby, the pilot, who by then had deserted.
