The Tage ("Tagus") was a 100-gun Hercule-class ship of the line of the French Navy.
Service history
She was laid down as Polyphème in 1824, renamed Saint Louis, and eventually Tage. She was launched only in 1847. From 1857 to 1858, she was converted to steam ship.
After 1871, she was used as a prison ship to hold insurgents of the Commune of Paris. Later she ferried prisoners to New Caledonia.
She served as a hulk before being scrapped in 1896.
