Ship model Le Superbe 1:150
The SUPERBE was part of a maritime program to reinforce the diversity of the ships of the naval forces of LOUIS XVI in the 18th century. The SUPERBE was built in 1782 to the plans of the engineer Jacques-Noël Sané.
Classed as a 74-gun ship, it has the particularity of having a copper-lined hull. The practice of lining the hull with copper became widespread after 1770.
It allowed the hull, and in particular the hull, to be protected from worms and other parasites.
An additional advantage was that the ship gained a few knots of speed.
The SUPERBE was equipped with 74 guns distributed as follows: 28 of 36 pounds on the 1st battery, 30 of 18 pounds on the 2nd battery and 16 of 8 pounds on the forecastle.
Like all 74-gun ships, the SUPERBE did not have a mantelet on the second battery.
It should be noted that the figurehead of this ship represents a crest which was imposed as a regulation in 1785.
Introduced into the Naval Army of Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse, it was hit by a violent storm in January 1795.
This storm damaged many ships of this army, including the SUPERBE.
