The ''Amphitrite'' was a 44-gun ''Armide'' class frigate of the French Navy. ''Amphitrite'', under frigate captain Trobriand, departed Cherbourg for Martinique on 10 November 1808, along with ''Vénus'', ''Junon'', ''Cygne'' and ''Papillon'', under contre-amiral Hamelin.〔(François Marie 2ème Denis de Keredern de Trobriand )〕 The next day, the squadron broke apart. ''Amphitrite'' arrived at Fort de France, only to find it blockaded by the Royal Navy. She managed to slip through and reach the harbour. On 3 February, as the British attacked Martinique, the Amphitrite was scuttled to prevent her capture. In 1960, construction work of a modern commerce harbour in Fort de France uncovered the bottom of the hull of ''Amphitrite''. Copper sheets of the hull and other fragments were recovered and are now on display at the Service Régional de l'Archéologie.〔 ==Sources and references== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French frigate Amphitrite (1808)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
