  Soleil Royal Ship Model
measures: 32"L x 32"T x 16"WClick here to see detailed photos!
Named in honor of the Sun King,
Louis XIV, Le Soleil Royal was one of the most powerful ships of her day. As flagship
of the revitalized French Navy brought into being by Minister of Marine Jean-Baptiste
Colbert, she was sumptuously decorated with wooden carvings depicting a variety
of motifs emblematic of the French monarch.
The taffrail was embellished with a rendering of the sun god drawn across the
sky by a team of horses, while the ornate figurehead showed a seahorse flanked
by winged maidens.
On May 29, 1692, the Soleil Royal achieved its hour of glory. With a formation
of 45 ships, she defeated the English and Dutch fleets, which boasted a combined
strength of 97 vessels.
