Brune was a Coquette class 20-gun corvette of the French Navy, launched in 1781 and captured in 1799 at the siege of Corfu, which saw a joint Russian and Turkish fleet capture Corfu from an occupying French force.

Career

On 15 November 1794, Minerve, in company with Alceste and Brune, under Ensign Deniéport sailed for a diplomatic mission to Tunis before returning to Toulon on 29 December.[1] Brune was present at the action of 8 March 1795, and near the subsequent battle of Hyères Islands:[2] in mid-July, Brune and the frigate Vestale, under Commander Delorme,[3] escorted a 25-ship wheat convoy from Genoa to France, when three enemy frigates gave chase; Brune, which was a very bad sailor, had to take refugee at La Spezia, while Vestale managed to keep the frigates at bay and defend the convoy.[4] After Deniéport was promoted to Lieutenant and Commander, she continued to escort convoys in the Adriatic Sea.[2]

On 26 March 1797, Brune departed Ancona in a division led by Commander Sibille, of the eight-gun Bonaparte. The other vessels were the lugger Libérateur d'Italie (under Laugier), the xebec Corse (under Muron), and two transports loaded with ammunition.[5]

By 1798, Brune was at Corfu, when the city came under siege by a Russo-Ottoman fleet. During the siege she slipped by the Russian ships and into Corfu to inform General Chabot that reinforcements were coming from Ancona. The reinforcements did leave on 8 December, but only reached Corfu's north coast in early January. They then left when they were unable to establish contact with Chabot.[6]

On 28 February 1799, the Russians and Ottomans attacked Vido, which is a small island (less than kilometer in diameter) at the mouth of the port of Corfu. After a four-hour bombardment by several ships, the attackers had succeeded in suppressing all five shore batteries on the island.

On 3 March 1799, the Russians captured Brune. At the end of the siege the victors divided up the spoils, and the Russians gave her to the Ottomans.[2][8][9][10]
