HMS Fleur de la Mer (1807)

HMS Fleur de la Mer was the French privateer Gipsey, captured in 1806.

In early 1808 Lieutenant Thomas Huskisson commissioned Fleur de la Mer.

He had come out to the Jamaica station on Melpomene, and once there Vice-Admiral Sir B. S. Rowley appointed him to Fleur de la Mer and put him to cruising off San Domingo.

[2] On 6 July 1809 Fleur de la Mer and Pike were among the vessels that carried out the blockade of the city of Santo Domingo that accompanied the siege, and they were both present at its surrender.
