Ship model: Le Glorieux - Heller

The GLORIEUX vessel was built during the reign of Louis XV. It was started in Rochefort in 1756 on the plans of Clairin-Deslaupiers. Classified among the 74-gun ships, it has the particularity of having a copper-lined hull. This practice of dubbing became widespread much later, from 1770. It allowed the hull, and in particular the hull, not to be attacked by worms and other parasites. The GLORIEUX is equipped with 74 guns distributed as follows: 28 guns of 36 pounds on the deck of the 1st battery, 30 guns of 18 pounds on the deck of the 2nd battery and 16 guns of 8 pounds on the forecastle. Like all 74-gun ships, the GLORIEUX did not have a mantlet at the second battery. Like all ships built at the beginning of the 17th century, the GLORIEUX has a castle topped with round. In 1779, he was among the ships that made up the Comte d'Estaing's Squadron, also known as the American Squadron. It was part of the Blue Squadron whose flagship is "The CROWN".
