Eugénie (1798)

Eugénie was a French 16-gun privateer ship-sloop launched in 1798.

On 16 March 1798 HMS Magnanime (1780) was escorting a small convoy when she spied a privateer lurking about, seeking an opportunity to pick off a prize. Captain Michael de Courcy set Magnanime in chase. Twenty-three hours and 256 miles later, he captured the Eugénie at Latitude 42 and Longitude 12. She had been armed with 18 guns, eight of which she had thrown overboard during the chase, and had a crew of 107 men. She was coppered and appeared completely new.

She arrived at Plymouth on 4 May. The Royal Navy took her into service under the name HMS Pandour, but never commissioned her. In 1800 her name became HMS Wolf. Wolf never saw active duty either.

The Admiralty offered her for sale at Plymouth on 31 August 1801. She was broken up in 1802.
