This warship was lost off Sancti-Petri coast after the battle. About two centuries later, an array of iron cannons and wooden remains were studied at this site by the Underwater Archaeology Centre of Andalusia. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the ship’s construction method, whose particularities place it within the tradition of French naval construction between the late 18th century and early 19th century.

Resumen: El buque francés de 74 cañones Fougueux (1785-1805) pertenecía a la flota hispano-francesa que el 21 de octubre de 1805 se enfrentó a la flota británica en la batalla de Trafalgar. Este buque de guerra se perdió frente a la costa de Sancti-Petri tras la batalla. Unos dos siglos después, el Centro de Arqueología Subacuática de Andalucía estudió en este yacimiento un conjunto de cañones de hierro y restos de madera. Este trabajo presenta los resultados del análisis del método de construcción del barco, cuyas particularidades lo sitúan dentro de la tradición de la construcción naval francesa entre finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX.
