French ship Castiglione (1812)

Castiglione was a Téméraire-class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Career

Ordered on 4 January 1807, Castiglione was one of the ships built in the various shipyards that the First French Empire captured in Holland and Italy. The Empire used the shipyards in a crash programme to rebuild the French Navy.

The French surrendered Castiglione to Austria at the fall of Venice on 20 April 1814. An accidental fire on 14 September destroyed her.
