Duguay-Trouin (French privateer)
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, many French privateers and letters of marque bore the name Duguay-Trouin, named for René Duguay-Trouin: René Trouin, Sieur du Gué (10 June 1673–1736), French privateer, admiral and Commander in the Order of Saint Louis. Between 1760 and 1810, warships of the Royal Navy captured seven different French privateers all with the name "Duguay-Trouin". In British records the name is sometimes given as "Du Guay Trouin", "Dugai Trouin", "Drigai Trouin", or "Guay Trouin". Citations and references. Citations References
