French ship Romulus (1812)
- French ship Romulus (1812)
The "Romulus" was a "Téméraire" class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.
In February 1814, under captain Rolland, she sailed from Toulon to Gena, being part of a division under Julien Cosmao. She was engaged by three British ships of the line, notably HMS "Boyne" and HMS "Caledonia", and managed to escape to Toulon by sailing close to the coast to avoid being surrounded.
She was eventually broken up in 1840.
