French ship Persanne (1809)

Persane was a 24-gun flüte of the French Navy.

On 29 November 1811, Persane, under the command of capitaine de frégate Satie, ferried a cargo of 201 bronze and iron cannon, 220 iron wheels for gun carriages, and numerous other military stores from Corfu to Trieste, escorted by frigates FRENCH FRIGATE Pomone and FRENCH FRIGATE Pauline. Royal Navy Captain Murray Maxwell's squadron of three frigates intercepted the convoy. In the ensuing Action of 29 November 1811, Persane fought gallantly for four hours before being captured. Pomone was also taken, while Pauline fled.

Persane was afterwards sold to the Bey of Tunis.
