A view of Pointe à la Frégate, on the Gaspé coast, before the sinking of the British frigate Penelope, which had left the port of Spithead, Great Britain, in the early days of April 1815. The ship was bound for Canada to bring back British soldiers from the war against Napoleon. Her captain was James Galloway, who had just replaced Mr. Henry Blackwood. The frigate carried 36 guns.
During the night of April 30, 1815, the frigate Penelope approached a point off Gaspé, off what is now the municipality of Cloridorme. On the morning of May 1, the frigate was ripped open by rocks half-submerged by the waves. The crew tried to control the flooding in the hold, but to no avail. The captain gave the order to lower the lifeboats. The frigate also opened fire with these cannons to attract the attention of the residents, but to no avail.
