Career[]
Built as a 60-gun frigate carrying a main 24-pounder battery, Artémise was armed en flûte in 1830 for the Expédition d'Alger and used as a troop ship. In 1832, she took part in the Battle of Ancona, ferrying troops along with Suffren and Victoire. She served as a transport in the Mediterranean and to Alger in the next years.[1]
In 1836, under Captain Laplace, Artémise took part in an expedition to the Caribbean, along with Algésiras, and the next year circumnavigated the globe. Returned to Lorient in April 1840, she was struck, renamed Arc-en-Ciel and used as a hulk.[1]
