Deux Freres (1798 ship)

Deux Frères was a tartane that the French Navy had requisitioned in March 1798 at Marseille and commissioned as a transport.[1] A British division under the command of Commodore Sir Sidney Smith in Tigre captured her on 18 March 1799 at the siege of Acre in 1799. She was one of a flotilla of seven vessels and Smith took all into the Royal Navy.[2]

At the time of her capture Deux Frères was armed with four guns and had a crew of 23 men. One of the seven captured vessels was lost in a gale at the siege; the lost vessel was almost certainly Deux Freres as the other six have a readily identifiable subsequent history.

gollark: Also, there's probably a way to directly write the buffer to a file instead of mucking with doing it in chunks?
gollark: Also, printing out information for every character *will* slow it down a lot, but I assume that's going to be removed in the non-debug version.
gollark: I can't see any horrible problems? Although hardcoding the array size is a bit problematic. Also, you could do`!subchild.attr("cp").is_none()`/`subchild.attr("cp").unwrap()` more idiomatically as `if let Some(cp) = subchild.attr("cp")`.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I'm sure there's already a Rust™ library of some sort for this.
