Alex Connor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Soleil Royal is likely this ship, built in 1749, 80 guns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Soleil-Royal_(1749) Victory is the older Victory (1737) which sunk in 1744. Distinctive for having 4 rows of stern lights compared to the normal 3 for a 3 decker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagram Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Need more info on this ship, it looks different from 1760 le solei royal. 1760 The lower one is not of 1760 but of 1670. Just a typo, I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Soleil_Royal_(1670) This refers to the upper one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Soleil-Royal_(1749) More info on the French Wiki: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soleil_Royal_(1749) Edited December 16, 2015 by Wagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benass Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The Sun Royal is a warship French, in service 1669 to 1692. This is a ship of the line in first place, with 98 and 104 guns on three decks. He is the first name and the flagship of the fleet of the Ponant during theWar of the League of Augsburg. It is burned at the end of the battle of the Hougue, the June 2 1692. Im not good at history and stuff but , Sun Royal had 98 to 104 guns. Lovely looking ship. My favorite to be honest. The one that burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
