French Ship of Renowned Indomptable

 I'm in the process of "Clearing the Decks" ahead of Challenge XII so you'll be seeing a few new posts in the next few days and then probably silence for a little bit. 

As with most of the "Renowned" ships from Warlord Indomptable fought at Trafalgar and did fight quite fiercely exchanging fire with several English ships before breaking off action in company of several Spanish ships. She managed to save about 500 men from the Bucentaure when she wrecked in the Trafalgar storm. Unfortunately she sank in a storm the following night.
Her stern is quite handsome probably my favorites among the French Ships of the line.  Its simple but eye catching with its Scallop like "coat of arms".   
I am not sure why a Pegasus is the figure head by it does look quite majestic and I guess you really don't need a better reason than that
