HISTORY:
Few frigates of the mid-1700s displayed the sleek lines and advanced features of la Renommée (pronounced: reh-noh-may´),
which was built in 1744 and carried eight pounders. Her unique nau tical architecture influenced the future of ship design in England as well as in France.
La Renommée sailed both sides of the Atlantic under the French and British ensigns for almost 27 years.
