    Four ships have carried the name Soleil Royale but only the second ever won renown. She was launched from Brest in the late 1600s and took part in the battle of
    Barfleur, however she would have been remembered for her beauty alone.
    The design
    and ornamentation were of such extravagance to have won a place in naval history.
    The battle of Barfleur began on19th. May 1692 and lasted for almost two days. Having been badly damaged she disengaged together with three others and was systematically
    destroyed by cannon shot and fire, by the Anglo/Dutch fleet. It was reported that her destroyers were ashamed to be a part of her demise.
