French ship Argonaute (1794)

"Argonaute" was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the French Navy, built in Lorient between 1794 and 1798 by the engineer Rolland.

She took part in the Battle of Trafalgar during which she was severely damaged but was one of the ships that was not taken by the British. She escaped to Cádiz and remained there until she was exchanged for the Spanish ship "Vencedor".
