Génois was a Téméraire class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, of the sub-type of Borée and Pluton.
Designed based on plans by Jacques-Noël Sané, and updated by Maillot, she was the prototype of a new variant of the Téméraire class designed to have a smaller draught, allowing the production of ships of the line in the shallower harbours. Borée was built is Antwerp, and Génois in Genoa. [1]
Construction of Génois was awarded to the shipbuilding company Muzzio and Migone, who botched the launch on 6 August 1805: the ship stopped dead on her launching berth, and her keel hogged. [1] Engineer Forfait was sent to Genoa to save the ship, and managed to launch her properly on 16 August. [3]
Génois was commissioned under Captain Lhermite on 2 November 1805. [1] [4] She remained in Genoa un 1806, [5] before sailing to Toulon and taking part in the Mediterranean squadron under Vice-Admiral Ganteaume. [6] In early 1808, she sailed from Toulon to Taranto, [7] and took part in expeditions to supply Corfu. [8]
In the spring of 1809, Lhermite was replaced by Captain Montalan, [9] who took command in April, and retain it until Génois was disarmed on 23 June 1814. [10]
In March 1821, under Captain Bénard-Fleury, she ferried food supplies from Toulon to Rochefort. [11]
She was struck and broken up in 1821 in Toulon. [1]
