Commerce de Paris-class ship of the line


The Commerce de Paris class were a series of ships of the line of the French Navy, designed in 1804 by Jacques-Noël Sané as a shortened version of his 118-gun three-deckers, achieved by removing a pair of guns from each deck so that they became 110-gun ships. Two ships were built to this design in France. Four more were begun at Antwerp in 1810–1811, but these were never completed and were broken up on the ways; three more were ordered in Holland, but these were never laid down.

Ships

In October 1811 Napoleon asked for three 110-gun ships to be begun at Amsterdam, but only one was ordered; two more ships to be same design were ordered in 1812 to be built at Amsterdam and at Rotterdam, but none of the three was named or laid down, although prefabrication of the frame for the first had been begun during 1813.
