Thanks Charley,

After writing my post above I went and looked up the Seeadler and discovered my error. Luckner sank fifteen ships, with about 300 prisoners onboard Seeadler he captured the French Barque "Cambronne", removed sails to reduce her sailing performance and placed his prisoners onboard her so that they could sail to port slowly enough to allow Seeadler to clear the area.

All the best,

Bill.
