HMS Intrigue

HMS Intrigue was a frigate in Royal Navy up until 1715.

In that year, while transporting the Assassin Duncan Walpole to Havana, the Intrigue happened upon and attacked the Jacobite, a pirate vessel off the coast of Cape Bonavista. At first the Intrigue faired well against the pirates, but a chance gust of wind afforded the crew of the Jacobite the opportunity to open a full broadside, demasting and ultimately sinking Intrigue.
