French ship Charlemagne (1807)

The Charlemagne was a French 80-gun ship of the line launched in 1807. She served in the French Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and the Bourbon Restoration. Details regarding her specific actions and battles are relatively scarce compared to some of her contemporaries, but she formed part of the French fleet deployed in the Mediterranean during that period.

Typical for ships of her size and era, Charlemagne would have been armed with a mix of cannon, primarily 36-pounders on the lower gun deck, 18- or 24-pounders on the middle deck, and smaller guns on the upper deck and quarterdeck. These ships were designed for broadside combat, relying on their firepower to overwhelm opposing vessels.

The fate of the Charlemagne and the exact details of her service life, including decommissioning or disposal, are difficult to ascertain with complete certainty due to gaps in historical records. Further research is necessary for a more comprehensive account of her career.
