A fantastically detailed 1/700 scale model of Courageux or Le Centaure - French 74 gun 3rd Rate Ships of the Line
Courageux was a 4th rank, 74-gun Téméraire-class ship of the line built for the French Navy during the 1790s. Completed in 1806, she played a minor role in the Napoleonic Wars.
Courageux was ordered on 15 May 1801 and named Alcide on 7 January 1802. The ship was renamed Courageux on 22 January, laid down in July at the Arsenal de Lorient and launched on 3 February 1806. The ship was commissioned on 8 April 1806 and completed later that month.[4] Captain Amable Troude was in command of Courageux which was serving as his flagship of a squadron also comprising Polonais and D'Hautpoul that departed Lorient on 16 February 1809 to resupply French forces in the Caribbean. D'Hautpoul was captured by the British, but the other two returned to France on 29 May having captured seven British merchant ships on the voyage home.
