Шаблон:Short description Charles-Marie Cunat (Saint-Malo, 20 May 1789[1] – Saint-Malo, 21 February 1862.[2]) was a French naval officer, privateer and naval historian.

Career

Cunat started sailing at the age of 16 on the privateer Napoléon, on which he fought in two battles.[1] In 1808, he enlisted on the privateer Deux-Sœurs; during the campaign, he was appointed to the prize crew sent aboard a captured ship, which turned out to be so badly damaged that she had to make a port call in Tharangambadi for fear of sinking.[1] Cunat was taken prisoner and the British sent him to Puducherry.[1]

Released on parole in 1809, he returned to Mauritius. The year after, he enlisted as a chief gunner on the frigate Minerve, under Captain Bouvet.[1] He took part in all the battles of Minerve, and sustained two injuries at the shoulder and the eye.[1]

After the Invasion of Isle de France in late 1810, he returned to France, and obtained the rank of Ensign in 1811.[1] He was then appointed to a ship of the line in Antwerp. During the Siege of Antwerp in 1814, Bouvet fought ashore, leading a 25-man platoon.[1]

After the Bourbon Restoration, he settled in Mauritius, retired from the Navy, and became the ship-owner of the Latchimie[note 1] and sailed several journeys in the Indian Ocean.[2] In 1830, he was awarded the Legion of Honour.[2]

Returned to France to support his ailing wife, Cunat continued to sail merchantmen as captain of the Noémi.[2] After his wife's death, he remarried and settled in Saint-Malo in 1835 to raise his children.[2] From 1835 to 1862, he served as an aid to the major of Saint-Malo, and wrote History books in his spare time.[2]

Works

Cunat furthermore contributed the articles on André Désilles, René Duguay-Trouin, Joseph Potier, Robert Surcouf and various others in the Biographie bretonne directed by Prosper Levot:[2]
