Returning to France the Squadron was engaged off Brittany by the Royal Navy in the Battle of Joburg. Hebrus chased Étoile for 15 hours and 120 miles, finally bringing her to action in the Bay of La Hogue, just after midnight on the 27th March. A fight lasting over two hours ensued, the ships becalmed and firing at each other from nearly the same spot. The French fired high, doing great damage to Hebrus's rigging; Hebrus from the start fired into Étoile's hull. Eventually Philibert struck, after having lost 40 men killed and 71 wounded. Hebrus had 13 men killed and 25 wounded.

Fine aquatint and engraving with large margins. Platemark: 480 x 640mm (18¾ x 25¼").
A dramatic battle scene depicting action between the English frigate 'Unicorn', and the French frigate 'La Tribune', which took place June 8th, 1796 near Waterford. Launched in 1793, 'Tribune' was under the command of Commodore John Moulson (or Moulston), an American who had served in the French Navy for 16 years. On 8th June 1796, 'Tribune' was sailing off the south coast of Ireland, when at daybreak the British frigates 'Unicorn' and 'Santa Margarita' sighted the French vessels and proceeded to chase them. 'Unicorn' eventually pulled alongside and an intense engagement that lasted for 35 minutes ensued, resulting in the capture of 'Tribune'. The victory earned Sir Thomas William, to whom this print is dedicated, a knighthood. In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the remaining survivors of this action the 'Naval General Service Medal'. Details of both ships are below titles with an account of the event from Sir Thomas William to Admiral Kingsmill, from on board the 'Unicorn' dated 1796.
