Career[]
Ordered on 31 July 1806, Albanais was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy. She was commissioned on 1 October 1808.[1] In March 1808, part of her crew transferred on Tilsitt, and she had to complement her complement with Danish sailors. She served in Missiessy's Escault squadron under Pierre Lhermite.[1][3]
In 1814, according to the terms of the Treaty of Paris, she was surrendered to the Dutch.[1]
