Career
Ordered on 24 April 1804 as Illustre, Dantzig was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy.
In 1807, she crossed from Antwerp to Vlissingen for a refit.
At the Bourbon Restoration, she was renamed to Achille, and ceded to Holland with the Treaty of Paris.
