2 unusual facts about Sallenelles


Action of 30 May 1798

Vésuve had suffered less than the frigate and troops onshore were able to protect her from further attack until she could be brought into the nearby harbour of Sallenelles and repaired.

As the British attack proceeded against Confiante, the crew of Vésuve succeeded in refloating her and soon had their ship anchored under the protection of gun batteries at Sallenelles.
