History of the ship Belle Poule

Belle Poule was a60-gun frigate of the French Navy. Frigates were versatile and fast warships, designed for speed and manoeuvrability, that performed both combat and scouting roles.

Frigates such as Belle Poule were known for their speed and manoeuvrability, making them ideal for a variety of tasks, including the pursuit and attack of enemy shipping, as well as scouting and patrol missions.

Although construction was begun in 1828, Belle Poule was not launched until 1834.She was one of the first ships to be built in a covered dockyard, allowing the builders to delay construction when political and financial circumstances were unfavourable.Her design was inspired by the USS Constitution class of frigates. She was commissioned in July 1835 and displayed fairly good sailing properties.

The event that made the ship “Belle Poule” really famous was the repatriation of Napoleon’s ashes on board the Belle Poule from the island of Saint Helena to France.

The “Belle Poule” is remembered primarily for its role in transporting Napoleon Bonaparte’s remains from Saint Helena to France. An event that will be remembered as marking the end of the Napoleonic era and leaving a great impact on the course of French and European history.
