HMS Undaunted (1807)

[8] On 29 April 1812 the boats of Undaunted, the frigate Volontaire, and the sloop Blossom attacked a convoy of 26 French vessels near the mouth of the river Rhone.

[10] Under Captain Ussher's command Undaunted was continually employed on the southern coast of France for the next two years, making numerous attacks on ships and fortifications.

The next morning the two ships anchored off the town, noting that the semaphore station seemed to be abandoned, and were later approached by a boat flying a flag of truce carrying the mayor and municipal officials, who informed them of the abdication of Napoleon.

Following Napoleon's escape from Elba in February 1815 Undaunted and Garland, under the command of Captain Charles Austen in Phoenix, were sent into the Adriatic in pursuit of a Neapolitan squadron, supposed to be there.

[22] Undaunted finally returned to Britain, and was paid off at Chatham in October 1815, and remained there kept "in ordinary"[6] until she was recommissioned on 11 August 1827 under Captain Sir Augustus William James Clifford.

She was soon employed, attending the Lord High Admiral the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV) during his official visits to Chatham and Sheerness.

In 1828 Undaunted sailed for India, via the Cape of Good Hope, with Lord William Bentinck aboard as a passenger in order to take up his post as Governor-General.

[6] Undaunted was employed at the Cape of Good Hope, on the African and East India stations, during which Harvey commanded a squadron at the time of an insurrection on the Île de France.
