The Golymin was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy (of the Duquesne sub-class). Built in Lorient in 1804, she was launched in 1809. Wrecked on Mengam Rock in the roads of Brest on 23 March 1814, [1] [2] she is the source of the Obusier de vaisseau currently on display in the Musée national de la Marine in Paris and in Brest. [3]
She was commissioned under Captain Amand Leduc on 1 January 1812, [1] taking part in Allemand's escape from Lorient in March. [4]
On 23 March 1814, Golymin was despatched from Brest to assist two frigates inbound for the harbour, [4] but a gust of wind pushed her on Mengam Rock, [1] where she was wrecked and sank. [4] The crew managed to abandon ship in good order and was ferried ashore by boats without loss of life. [4] Leduc was court-martialled and found innocent of the loss of the ship on 15 July 1814. [4]
The wreck was discovered in 1977 by Michèle and Jean-Marie Retornaz, [5] and explored by the DRASSM in 1980. [3]
