She was designed and built at Brest Dockyard by Léon-Michel Guignace. She was renamed Républicain in September 1792. Under this name, she took part in the Third Battle of Ushant, being the last ship of the French rear. She was attacked, totally dismasted, and struck her colours; however, the British failed to capture her, and she returned to Rochefort. On 24 December 1794, she took part in the Croisière du Grand Hiver. As the fleet exited Brest harbour, she ran aground with the loss of 10 men. Her crew abandoned ship, and the wreck was destroyed in a tempest a few days later. I was not able to find a lot of documentation about the ship The model at the Muse de la marine is the 1759 version The ship from Mamoli arrive in a big box well packaged The wood supplied Poplar Plywood Mahogany Plywood Walnut Laths Mahogany laths Ramin BeechwoodTanganyka Brass White metal Plastic On the side of the box you have a chart of color to help to identified the different type of wood 8 drawing for building and 1 1:1 drawing of the model     | ||
