French ship Magnifique (1750)
The ''Magnifique'' was the lead ship of the 3-ship ''Magnifique'' class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.
On 15 August 1782, the ''Magnifique'' crashed along the rocky shore of Lovells Island, in Boston Harbor, MA, USA. She was rumoured to have been carrying "long-lost treasure."〔(Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area Island Facts: Lovells Island ), nps.gov〕 According to a US National Park Service Guide, the submerged vessel is still visible from N 42° 19.902’ W 070° 55.818’ during periods of calm.〔(Boston Harbor Islands Island Cache Program, Site 6: The Outer Islands ), nps.gov〕
On 3 September 1782 the Continental Congress decided to present the ship of the line to King Louis XVI of France to replace ''Magnifique''. The gift was to symbolize the new nation's appreciation for France's service to and sacrifices in behalf of the cause of the American patriots.
