Polyphème was a Téméraire-class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.
Career
Ordered in October 1812, Polyphème 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.
The Dutch seized her, still on keel, after the French evacuated Amsterdam, and commissioned her in the Royal Netherlands Navy as Holland. She was broken up in 1832.
