Egyptienne (ship)


During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars Égyptienne ("Egyptian woman"), or Egypt, which commemorated Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign, was a popular name for French vessels, including naval vessels and privateers. Between 1799 and 1804, warships of the Royal Navy captured one French frigate and five different French privateers all with the name Egyptienne, and at least one privateer with the name Egypte.
