French ship Heureux (1783)

The "Heureux" was a "Centaure" class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

She cruised in the Mediterranean in 1794 and 1795.

Under captain Étienne, she took part in the Expedition to Egypt, and in the Battle of the Nile. The first ship to spot the British fleet on 1 August, "Heureux" fought the next day and had to strike. Too badly damaged for repairs, she was burnt.
