French brig Carlotta (1807)

Carlotta followed a design by Andrea Salvini and he probably built her; Napoleon was reportedly at her launch.[1] On 11 December 1810 Carlotta was sailing from Venice to Corfu when she encountered Belle Poule.[3] The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS Carlotta, and Admiral Edward Pellew appointed Lieutenant James Oliver to command her.[a] On 26 January 1812 a violent gale, together with a strong current, drove Carlotta onto Cape Passaro, wrecking her.[7] Oliver's exertions in saving a cargo of specie and consequent fatigue aggravated a previous wound, costing him the sight in one eye.
