Ship of the line of the French Navy
Jemmapes was a late 100-gun "Hercule"-class ship of the line of the French Navy.
Service history.
Ordered in 1824 as "Indomptable" and soon renamed "Royal Charles", "Jemmapes" was laid down in 1825 but not completed before 1840. She took her definitive name after the July Revolution, on 9 August 1830.
In 1844, "Jemmapes" took part in the Bombardment of Mogador in Joinville's squadron. In October or November 1848, she was driven ashore at Civitavecchia, Papal States. Deactivated in 1851, she took part in the Crimean War, first in the Baltic Sea in 1854, and in the Black Sea the next year.
Decommissioned in 1864, "Jemmapes" was first used as a transport, and then hulked, before being scrapped in 1890.
