French ship Dalmate (1808)  Dalmate was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. Ordered on 11 August 1806, "Dalmate" was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy. She was commissioned in 1808 and served under Captain Le Jaulne. She was decommissioned in 1813, and her crew transferred on "Friedland". At the Bourbon Restoration, she was renamed "Hector", changed to "Dalmate" during the Hundred Days, and to "Hector" back again after Napoléon's second abdication. She later served under Captain Baron Lemarant between 15 May to 22 June 1817, and Bergeret from 13 September, cruising the Caribbean and returning to Rochefort on 4 February 1818.
