French ship Thémistocle (1791)

Thémistocle was a Téméraire-class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Built in Lorient, Thémistocle was transferred to the Mediterranean soon after her commissioning to reinforce the squadron under Admiral Truguet.

[1] Seized by the British at the surrendering of Toulon by a Royalist cabale, she was used as a prison hulk during the Siege of Toulon.

At the fall of the city, Captain Sidney Smith had her scuttled by fire, along with Héros.
