French ship Lys (1691)

The Lys was a 74-gun ship of the line in the French Royal Navy, launched in 1691. She was built in Brest according to the normes of 1689 established by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and served in the War of the Grand Alliance (also known as the Nine Years' War).

Details of her service are somewhat scarce, but ships of her class and time period were typically involved in fleet actions and convoy escort duties. The Lys, being a 74-gun ship, would have been a valuable asset in fleet engagements. These engagements often aimed to control sea lanes and project naval power.

Further research in French naval archives might reveal more specific details regarding the Lys's operational history, commanders, and eventual fate. However, given the age and incomplete nature of historical records, definitive information may be limited.
