Vaisseau de 1er rang “Roi de Rome” @credits Jean-Charles de Borda, inspector of the naval construction classifies the French war ships after 1786 according the number of canons : 74, 80 and 118 canons for the battleships, less than 50 canons for the ships accompagnying them. The model of the “Roi du Rome”, built in Anvers between 1808 and 1811 during the Napoleonic Wars represents a 80 canons ship.The ” Roi de Rome ” should have been armed for a six month compaign with a crew of 900 sailors and officers. It was 82m long and had a capacity of 10 952m3. But this ship  actually didn’t exist - the model aimed at proving the quality of the Anvers arsenal’s work.
