The capture of the Jeune Richard was the result of a naval engagement that took place in the Caribbean on 1 October 1807, during the Napoleonic Wars, between the British packet ship Windsor Castle, and the French privateer Jeune Richard. In an unequal battle, the Windsor Castle, under the command of her acting-captain William Rogers, not only defended repeated attacks from the privateer, but finally engaged her, boarded her and after overpowering the much larger crew, forced them below decks and took the privateer as their prize. The victory was widely reported in contemporary papers and journals, Rogers and his crew were hailed as heroes and lavishly rewarded for their valour.
