HMS Entreprenante
The Entreprenante was a cutter of the type used for communications and carrying dispatches, being lightly built and armed only with eight 4 pounder guns. Her role at Trafalgar was to lie to windward of the British fleet and render assistance if needed, since she was incapable of taking part in the fighting. Entreprenante therefore assisted in tasks such as rescuing survivors, and closed the battle to assist in the rescue of the crew of the burning French Achille (74 guns), when she picked up 150 men from the sea. Her commander, Lieutenant Young, came from the Isle of Man, and died at Exeter in 1846 where he had retired from the Royal Navy.
