The ''Scipion'' was a 74-gun ''Téméraire''-class ship of the line of the French Navy. She was commissioned in 1813, captained by Louis François Richard Barthélémy de Saizieu. She was refitted in 1823.〔(''La flotte française en 1841'' ), Louis Reybaud〕 On 30 September 1827, she collided with ''Provence'', which sustained serious damage and had to return to Toulon for repairs.〔(La marine de Napoléon III )〕 On 20 October 1827, she took part in the Battle of Navarino, under Pierre Bernard Milius, sailing behind the ''Sirène'' in the line. At the outbreak of the battle, ''Scipion'' narrowly escaped destruction by a fireship which became jammed under her bowsprit; her fore sails caught fire and the fire spread into the upper gun-deck, but was eventually put out by the crew. ''Trident'' succeeded in attaching a tow-line to the fireship and, with the assistance of and two other British boats, pulling it clear. ''Sirène'', ''Trident'' and ''Scipion'' then proceeded to silence the batteries of the fort of Navarino. She was eventually struck in 1846. == References and sources == 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 ship Scipion (1813)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
