The design of the hull, the distribution of the artillery and the rigging were taken from a draft by Count von Estaing dated 25 September 1772. The construction plans were drawn up by Mr J.B. OLIVIER, famous for his naval architecture. The Royal Louis was a first class tall ship. She was equipped with 120 cannons, 32 pcs. of them of calibre 36, each weighing almost 5 tons. She was one of the largest warships of her time. She was named after the French king Louis XVI. Her length at the waterline was 68 m, the total length 96 m and the height of the main mast from keel to platform was 74 m. In the years 1779-1780 the Royal Louis was a main ship of the Blue and White Squadron, which belonged to the Squadron of America called, Count von Estaing. This ship was exceptional for its forms and above all for the richness, finesse and elegance of its stern, whose balconies were true masterpieces. She was shipwrecked near Brest in 1794 and sank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337027780875,"sku":"80892","price":65.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-80892-royal-louis-1160786243.jpg?v=1749026414"},{"product_id":"heller-80865-1-75-santa-maria","title":"Santa María","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristoph Columbus, an Italian navigator living in Portugal, was fascinated by geography and wanted to open a new route to India by sailing westward.

It was built in Rochefort in 1756 according to the plans of Clairin-Deslaupiers. Listed among the 74-gun vessels, it has the particularity of having a copper-lined hull. This practice of lining became widespread much later, from 1770 onwards. It allowed the hull, and in particular the hull itself, not to be attacked by worms and other parasites. The GLORIEUX is equipped with 74 guns distributed as follows: 28 guns of 36 pounds on the deck of the 1st battery, 30 guns of 18 pounds on the deck of the 2nd battery and 16 guns of 8 pounds on the forecastle. Like all 74-gun vessels, the GLORIEUX did not have a mantelet on the second battery. Like all ships built at the beginning of the 18th century, the GLORIEUX had a castle topped with a rounded top. In 1779, she was one of the ships that made up the Comte d‘Estaing‘s Wing, also known as the Wing of America. It was part of the Blue Squadron, whose flagship was the Admiral‘s ship „La COURONNE“.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337036169483,"sku":"80889","price":83.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-80889-le-glorieux-1160786203.jpg?v=1749028572"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/collections\/heller-sailing-sea.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
