2. The History of the La Bretagne Model Ship

The Bretagne was a large 110-gun three-decker French ship of the line, built at Brest, which became famous as the flagship of the Brest Fleet during the American War of Independence. She fought at the Battle of Ushant in 1778 as flagship of the Comte dOrvilliers. During the French Revolution she was renamed Révolutionnaire. In May 1794 she fought in the skirmishes before the Battle of the Glorious First of June, dropping to the rear of the French fleet to drive off the pursuing British ships. In action against five or six 74-gun ships she was badly damaged, lost all her masts, and was only saved from capture by confusion among her opponents. She was towed to Rochefort by the battleship Audacieux and escorted by the corvette Unité. She took part in the Croisière du Grand Hiver, where she was very heavily damaged. Too damaged by the battle to be repaired, she was broken up between January and May 1796. A scale model of Bretagne is on display at Brest naval museum.
