[3] On 5 November 1805, Pomone captured the Spanish privateer Golondrina, a lugger of four guns and with a crew of 29 men, on the coast of Spain.

[4] Then in the new year, on 25 January 1806, Pomone's boats captured the Spanish privateer lugger Bengador, off Lisbon.

She was six weeks out of Bayonne and had taken one prize, Maid of the Mill, William Dearing (master), which had been on a voyage from Newfoundland to Lisbon.

[8] In all, Pomone and her boats succeeded in cutting out 14 vessels from the harbour – seven brigs, five sloops, a dogger and a chasse-maree laden with wheat, flour and provisions.

[1] Almost a year later, on the morning of 13 June 1809, off Cape Bon, she took the 3-gun Neapolitan privateer bombard Lucien Charles after a short chase.

That afternoon Pomone was able to burn two brigs, two bombards and a ketch belonging to the convoy before losing the enemy in the darkness.

[18] On 18 January 1811, Pomone captured the French privateer brig Dubourdieu, out of Toulon with a crew of 93 men and an armament with fourteen 12-pounder guns.

[19] At daybreak on 13 March, Pomone was about 7 leagues (34 km) west of the Maddalena Archipelago between Corsica and Sardinia, when she sighted a brig to the east.

[20] Barrie gave chase but the winds were weak and by the following morning saw that during the night the enemy vessel had pulled much farther away.

He continued the chase until about midday when the vessel entered a small cove on the north side of Montecristo, which is about 30 miles (48 km) south of Elba.

[20] When Pomone finally approached at about 4 o'clock, the brig's crew set her on fire; she blew up about an hour later.

[20] Etourdie had been launched at La Ciotat about three years earlier and carried sixteen carronades and two long guns forward.

[20] On 30 April, Pomone reached the Bay of Sagone in Corsica, in company with the 40-gun frigate Unite, Captain Chamberlayne.

After an hour and a half of bombardment by the British ships, the guns on shore were silent and all three French vessels were on fire.

[13] Also, the fires resulted in the destruction of the Genoese coastal tower (perhaps the Torra di Sagone), and the battery's ammunition store.

[22] Pomone traversed the rock but she had lost her rudder and was holed in several places, leading her to immediately fill with water.

Over the next three days Pomone's cannon, masts, cargo and valuables were all salvaged, with the Shah's horses being manhandled out through the gun ports.

[22][23] A marine stove in spirit casks and drank himself senseless; he was sentenced to 50 lashes but later pardoned on the basis of his prior good record.

However the board severely reprimanded the master for failing to take accurate bearings of Hurst Castle and for having not paid sufficient attention to Barrie's warnings about the lighthouse.

The shipwreck site identified at The Needles contains the remains of two wrecks, thought to be HMS Assurance and the stern part of Pomone.
