The Gloire was a 52-gun frigate of the French Navy. She took part in the Battle of Veracruz soon after her commissioning.
Goire was decommissioned in Brest in 1843, but reactivated in 1847 under Captain Lapierre for operations in the Sea of China. She took part in the Bombardment of Tourane.
On 18 August, she ran aground on an island off the Western coast of Korea, along with Victorieuse. Two boats made it to Shanghai to request assistance, and the marooned crew was picked up by HMS Daedalus, Espiegle and Childers on 12 September 1842.
