HMS Germaine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two vessels of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Germaine or Germain, in honour of Lord Germain:[1]
- HM armed ship Germaine, of 14 guns, was a mercantile vessel that Governor Patrick Tonyn purchased in April 1778 for the East Florida Provincial Navy and renamed.[1] He disbanded the provincial navy in 1779 and the Royal Navy commissioned her in 1779 under Lieutenant John Mowbray. The French captured her in 1781; her ultimate fate is currently unknown.[2]
- HMS Germaine (1781) was the American mercantile brig-sloop Americain captured in 1781, taken into service as HMS Germaine, and sold in March 1784.[3]
