French ship Entreprenant (1787)

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

In December 1792, she assisted the Languedoc. She was taken by the British when they captured Toulon, but was recaptured.

In 1793, she ferried prisoners suspected of anti-revolutionary sympathies from Toulon to Rochefort after Toulon was taken by the British.

She took part in the Glorious First of June and in the Croisière du Grand Hiver.
