| Sumario: | The 74 gun French ship Fougueux (1785-1805) belonged to the Spanish-French fleet that in 21st October of 1805 faced the British fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar. This warship was lost off Sancti-Petri coast after the battle. About two centuries later, an array of iron cannons and wooden remains were studied at this site by the Underwater Archaeology Centre of Andalusia. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the ship’s construction method, whose particularities place it within the tradition of French naval construction between the late 18th century and early 19th century. |
