La Belladonna was one of the first French ships that carried aid to the Continental Army, even starting before France officially joined the Revolution. Before she left France, La Belladonna was repainted as a Spanish vessel to keep her destination and origin secret.
Her cargo was deemed important enough for her to be escorted by the USS Randolph, the Continental flagship captained by Nicholas Biddle. The USS Randolph, however, abandoned La Belladonna in the Bahamas after two weeks, leaving her without protection.
The Aquila, captained by the Assassins Connor and Robert Faulkner, then came to escort La Belladonna, which was attacked by a large fleet of British ships. Despite the ambush, La Belladonna proved herself capable of holding her own and effortlessly destroyed ten ships, after which her mainmast was destroyed by a Man O' War, and the Aquila dispatched the remaining ships of the fleet.
The Aquila then remained to protect the damaged Belladonna, though this meant allowing the Randolph to escape.
Trivia
- Despite being disguised as a Spanish ship, the name La Belladonna is Italian, meaning "beautiful woman".
