French ship Montebello (1812)
- French ship Montebello (1812)
"Montebello" was an Océan type 118-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. She was launched in 1812 and refitted in 1821.
In 1851, she was refitted to receive a 140-shp steam engine. During trials, performance under sail was poor, probably because of the propeller which increased the drag.
She took part in the Crimean war as admiral Bruat's flagship, in June 1854. An epidemic of cholera affected 300 sailors aboard, of whom 120 died.
On 5 March 1855 she took part in the siege of Siege of Sevastopol, then in the expedition to Kerch and in the Battle of Kinburn.
In 1860 "Montebello" replaced "Suffren" at Toulon as a school-ship for gunnery, and in 1867, she was used as a floating barracks. She was scrapped in 1889.
