French ship Éole (1789)

Éole was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Between 1791 and 1793, she was based in Saint-Domingue. She took part in the Glorious First of June, where she and FRENCH SHIP Trajan dismasted HMS Bellerophon (1786).

She later took part in the Expédition d'Irlande, an ill-fated attempt to invade Ireland.

On 19 August 1806, during the Atlantic campaign of 1806, she was dismasted by a tempest off Martinique, and had to be taken in tow by American ships to Annapolis. She was eventually condemned in 1811, and broken up in 1816.

Several of her 36-pounder long guns were loaned to Fort McHenry in 1813 and used in the defence of Baltimore in September 1814.
