Cumberland (or Duc de Cumberland[1]) was a 24-gun frigate of the French Navy, originally the East Indiaman Duke of Cumberland.[2][1]

Career

On 21 June 1747, the frigates Mutine and Galatée captured Duke of Cumberland off Groix. She was then brought into French naval service as Cumberland.[2]

On 24 February 1748, Cumberland departed for Ile de France and Ile Bourbon under Captain Mézédern, and with La Motte-Picquet as her first officer. After she had called at A Coruña, Cumberland encountered a British 36-gun frigate, leading to an inconclusive battle where she lost 25 killed or wounded. After a 122-day voyage, Cumberland reached Île Bourbon, and then Île de France. From there, she departed for a cruise off India on 20 October 1748.[3]

On 9 February 1749, she arrived at Pondichery with the squadron under Suffren.[2]

In March 1758, the Navy sold her in Brest to a particular for use as the merchantman Mars.[1] She was lost in late 1758 or 1759.[1]
