Action of 3 July 1810

The action of 3 July 1810 was a minor naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars, in which a French frigate squadron under Guy-Victor Duperré attacked and defeated a convoy of three British East Indiamen near the Comoro Islands. Both sides suffered 20 or more sailors killed before two East Indiamen surrendered. These were Ceylon and the British flagship Windham, which held off the French squadron long enough for the ship Astell to escape. It was the third successful French attack on an Indian Ocean convoy in just over a year, and the second time the French had captured Windham. The French frigates were part of a squadron operating from the Isle de France under Commodore Jacques Hamelin.
