French ship Agréable

French ship Agréable

The "Agréable" ("pleasant") was a 56-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

She was built in 1670 as "Glorieux" ("Glorious") and renamed to "Agréable" in January 1675.

In 1700, she departed France for India in order to ferry a load of gold back to France. In 1701, "Agréable", along with the "Aurore", "Mutine" and "Saint-Louis", were attacked off Île Bourbon. Damaged, the "Agréable" made repairs at Île Bourbon, where the treasure was hidden.

In 1711, "Agréable" was converted to a hulk, and she was eventually scrapped in 1717.
