French ship La Bienvenue (1788)

La Bienvenue was a 20-gun French warship launched at Le Havre in 1788 that made several changes in ownership and name during military conflict with the British.

A siege was subsequently conducted by both British Army and Royal Navy forces, supported by gunfire from Jervis' fleet which was now occupying the harbour.

As the Zebra passed the stern of the Boyne to go back to her position in the fleet, Jervis's band played See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes and the whole crew cheered his actions.

[5] She was subsequently commanded by Captain James Carpenter, then on 4 May she was handed to the newly promoted post-captain, Henry William Bayntun.

She was registered and renamed HMS Undaunted 30 March 1795 and sold at Deptford on 24 July having served only 16 months as a British ship.
