French ship Trident (1811)

French ship Trident (1811)

The "Trident" was a "Téméraire" class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

On 13 February 1814, she was part of Julien Cosmao's squadron which was intercepted off Toulon by a British blockade. The "Romulus", at the rear, managed to hold off the British ships.

In 1823, she took part in the bombardment of Cadiz. In 1827, at the Battle of Navarino, she silenced coastal defences with the "Sirène".

In 1830, she took part in the raid against Algiers, and in the expedition on river Tage the next year, reaching Lisbon.

In 1854, she took part in the Crimean War, and was used as a troop ship the next year in the Black Sea.

She was struck on 24 November 1857 and was used as a barracks hulk from 1857 to 1869.

She was eventually broken up in 1879.
