A historic vessel which brought Napoleon's ashes fromn St. Helena back to France Hold fast Constantinos! There is some confusion here about TWO Belle Poules. As far as I know, one was built in 1750 and she was involved in a duel with the British frigate Arethusa. The other was built much later and she did bring back Napoleon's remains to Paris. I built LBP 1750 from ANCRE's plans and you can take a look in MSB's forum "Completed Models". Here is the link to the later build of 1834. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_frigate_Belle_Poule_(1834) Keith. | ||
