The capture of HMS Cyane was a naval action which took place as part of the War of 1812. The British warships HMS Cyane and HMS Levant fought the USS Constitution on 20 February 1815 in mid-Atlantic. Both Cyane and Levant were captured; in an ensuing action Levant was recaptured by the British. The war had actually finished a few days earlier with the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent by both sides, but the combatants were not aware of this.
