French ship Bretagne (1855)

French ship Bretagne (1855)

The "Bretagne" was a fast 130-gun three-decker of the French Navy, designed by engineer Marielle. She was built after the "Napoléon", and was fitted with a steam engine while under construction, though she had been laid down as a sail ship.

She took part in the Crimean War in 1854 and 1855.

From 1866, she was used as barracks. She was renamed to "Ville de Bordeaux" in 1880.
