The history of ROYAL LOUIS MODEL SHIP
Flashback to the period 1666- 1669, this vintage and classic Royal Louis E.E. ship model reminds you of when she was constructed at Toulon under the direction of Rodolphe Gédéon and served as flagship of the French fleet in the Mediterranean.. Bringing the history vibe home with our historical gunboat, longboat and battle ship model collections.
The Royal Louis, with 120 cannons and 1,200 crewmen, was the largest and most powerful tall ship of the French Navy in the late 1700s. Her captain was a Squadron Admiral. Able to shot 48-pound bronze cannonballs, the Royal Louis had unrivaled firepower. It was a huge vessel, dwarfing Dutch and English ships of similar power and intimidating all who crossed its path. Because of its superior size, the Royal Louis carried large amounts of supplies for the crew, enabling it to serve as a comfortable, well-stocked ship.
