Battle of Mykonos (original) (raw)
- The Battle of Mykonos was a minor naval engagement fought in the main harbour of the Cycladic island of Mykonos on 17 June 1794 during the French Revolutionary Wars. A British Royal Navy squadron led by fourth rate ship HMS Romney was escorting a convoy of eight merchant ships westwards through the Aegean Sea to Smyrna when the French frigate Sibylle was sighted at anchor in the harbour of Mykonos town with three French merchant ships. Ordering the convoy to continue with the rest of the squadron, Captain William Paget diverted the 50-gun Romney to the port and demanded the surrender of the 40-gun French ship and its convoy. The French Commodore Jacques-Mélanie Rondeau refused Paget's demands, and prepared to defend his ship. After some manoeuvring to ensure that the town was not within his firing arc, Paget brought Romney alongside the French frigate and for an hour and ten minutes the two vessels exchanged broadsides at close range. The engagement was hard fought and both ships suffered heavy casualties, but eventually the greater size of the two-decked Romney was too great for the smaller frigate and Rondeau surrendered. Sibylle was subsequently commissioned into the Royal Navy and participated in a celebrated battle in the Indian Ocean against the French frigate Forte in 1799. (en)
- La bataille de Mykonos est un engagement naval mineur mené dans le port principal de l'île cycladique de Mykonos le 17 juin 1794 pendant les guerres de la Révolution française . [Noter] Un escadron de la Royal Navy britannique dirigé par le navire de quatrième rang HMS Romney escorte un convoi de huit navires marchands vers l'ouest à travers la mer Égée jusqu'à Smyrne lorsque la frégate française Sibylle est aperçue à l'ancre dans le port de la ville de Mykonos avec trois navires marchands français. Ordonnant au convoi de continuer avec le reste de l'escadron, le capitaine William Paget détourne le Romney de 50 canons vers le port et exige la reddition du navire français de 40 canons et de son convoi. Le commandant français Jacques-Mélanie Rondeau refuse les demandes de Paget et se prépare à défendre son navire. Après quelques manœuvres pour s'assurer que la ville n'est pas dans son arc de tir, Paget a amené Romney le long de la frégate française et pendant une heure et dix minutes, les deux navires ont échangé des bordées à bout portant. L'engagement est âprement disputé et les deux navires subissent de lourdes pertes, mais finalement la plus grande taille du Romney à deux ponts était trop grande pour la plus petite frégate et Rondeau se rend. Sibylle est ensuite mise en service dans la Royal Navy et participe à une célèbre combat dans l'océan Indien contre la frégate française Forte en 1799. (fr)
