French ship Cassard (1795)

The "Cassard" was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

On the 27 March 1801, as she sailed with the fleet of Toulon, she collided with the "Formidable" and had to return to harbour.

She was captured by the HMS "Donegal" in 1806 at the Battle of San Domingo. She sank shortly thereafter while attempting to return to Britain.
