HMS Shannon was a Royal Navy Leda-class frigate launched in 1806. The ship had an illustrious career, notably capturing the American frigate USS Chesapeake in 1813 during the War of 1812. This victory, led by Captain Philip Broke, became a celebrated naval battle. After the war, HMS Shannon continued serving in various capacities, including anti-slavery patrols in West Africa. The ship was eventually decommissioned in 1859 and broken up in 1870. HMS Shannon is remembered for its role in the War of 1812 and its contribution to British naval history.
