Maritime History

French ship Saint Louis (1854)

Saint Louis was a steam-powered, third-rate, 80 gun Donawerth-class ship of the line built for the French Navy during the 1850s. She had been laid down as a Suffren-class sailing ship of the line, but remained on the stocks until she was chosen for conversion to steam power in 1854. The ship played a minor role in the Crimean War of 1854–1855.
