| Description |
The Diana was built in Copenhagen in 1804 as a 20 gun light frigate (corvette). In 1807 she was ordered to the Danish West Indies to relieve the frigate Fylla. Her orders were to go to Algiers first to pay tribute, and returning from that in September of 1807 she was informed by a British frigate that the two countries were actually at war. Owing to damages on her bowsprit she went into the Spanish port of Cartagena, in what was now an allied country. And she stayed there. When Spain rebelled against Napoleon from 1808 onwards, the situation changed, and when Spain officially declared war on Denmark, the Diana was in enemy waters, and was taken over by Spain on September 26, 1809. Some of the crew made it home to Denmark, but many succumbed to illnesses. The Danish sources lost track of Diana when she headed for South America in November 1810. Spanish sources have her in Havana by 1818, still named Diana and rated as a corbeta (corvette) and she served with the Spanish Navy until 1832. |
