HMS Goelan
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Goelan, the Anglicization of Goéland, the Breton word for seagull:
- HMS Goelan was the French 14-gun sloop Goéland, which HMS Penelope and HMS Proserpine captured in 1793, and which was sold in 1794.
- HMS Goeland (1803) was the French 16-gun brig-sloop Goéland, launched in 1801, which was part of the capitulation on 13 October 1803 at Aux Cayes; HMS Pique and HMS Pelican were listed as the captors.[1] Goelan was broken up in 1810.

gollark: I mean, it looks cool and all, but the HX750 costs more than my CPU.
