H.M.S. (His Majesty’s Ship) BELLONA was one of the most famous 74-gun vessels of the British Navy. The 74-gun was the linchpin of the major European naval powers from the Seven Years’ War (1756 - 1763), until the end of the Napoleonic Wars (1815). In 1755, the British Admiralty undertook the fitting out, under the leadership of Superintendent Thomas Slade, of the first vessels of this category, the so-called Dublin class. Launched on 19 February 1760, BELLONA was sent to support the blockade of Brest. On 30 December 1780, BELLONA took part in the capture of the 44-gun Dutch Princess Caroline; she then operated off Gibraltar in the North Sea and the West Indies. She took part in the blockade of Cadiz; she was then in Jamaica, Portsmouth and Barbados. Although more than 50 years.

Containership "Hollandia"

La Jacinthe was one of six schooners of the Anemone class. The ship was built in Toulon in 1823. The schooners of the Anemone class were intended to serve as Guardships in the West Indies and Senegal. They were also used as avisos and for gathering information. Their weak armament limited to two small 12 - pdr Carronades clearly shows that these schooners were not designed to go into action. For all that several of them including La Jacinthe took part in the blocade of Cadiz in September 1823. La Jacinthe was in service till 1841 when she was condemned.
