Question about Master & Commander movie

While most of the firepower was broadside,
many vessels in Aubrey's day had bow and stern "chasers"

A bow chaser could be used to blow out the sails and rigging of a fleeing
prize.

A stern chaser could be used to blow out the sails and rigging of a pursuer.
