| - Henri-François des Herbiers, Marquis de L'Estenduère, was born in Angers around 1682 and died in Rochefort in March 1750. He was a Navy officer and aristocrat in France. Coming from a noble family from Poitou, he began his navigational training under the direction of his uncle, and began his naval career at an early age in the Marine royale. He distinguished himself for the first time during the War of the Spanish Succession near Vélez-Málaga and then at the Battle of Marbella, before fighting as a privateer. During the 1720s, he undertook many voyages to New France and drew many marine maps of the Saint Lawrence river. He took part in the wars of the Polish Succession, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1747, he accomplished his greatest feat at the Battle of Cape Finisterre along the Spanish coast of Galicia. In charge of escorting a merchant convoy to the West Indies with eight ships, he was attacked on 25 October by 14 British ships of Admiral Edward Hawke, and sustained more than seven hours of fierce combat. Six French vessels were captured, but the convoy was almost totally saved. He also managed to avoid being captured when his ship, Le Tonnant with (80 cannons) was partially disabled. His second in command, marquis de Vaudreuil, on the Intrépide (74 cannon vessel), turned around and traversed British lines, and towed the ship back to Brest during the night. He ended his career as chef d'escadre. (en)

Chargé d'escorter un convoi marchands pour les Antilles avec huit vaisseaux, il est attaqué le 14 octobre par les 14 navires britanniques du contre-amiral Hawke, et soutient plus de sept heures de combat acharné. Six vaisseaux français sont capturés, mais le convoi est presque totalement sauvé. Il réussit lui aussi à échapper à la capture, alors que son vaisseau, Le Tonnant (80 canons) est en partie démâté. Son second, le marquis de Vaudreuil, sur l'Intrépide (74), vire de bord et traverse la ligne anglaise pour le dégager puis le prendre en remorque et rentrer sur Brest à la faveur de la nuit. Il termine sa carrière avec le grade de chef d'escadre. (fr)
