Jean Bart was built in Rochefort, France, in 1886 and commissioned in 1892. In 1893 she took part in the naval review during the World's Columbian Exhibition. She was re-rated as a second-class cruiser in 1897 and was sent to East Asia. In 1902, she returned to Lorient, France, to be decommissioned.
Jean Bart was recommissioned in 1906 and sent to the Caribbean. She ran aground in 1907 at Ras Nouadhibou on the Atlantic coast of Africa and became a total loss.
