}} | The Duguesclin was a 90-gun Ship of the line of the French Navy. She was the second ship in French service named in honour of Bertrand du Guesclin. Career Bayard was first used as barracks for prisoners sent to deportation to Îles du Salut, and then as a transport for those sent to the Bagne of Cayenne. She then took part in the Crimean War in the Black Sea in 1854 and 1855.[1]In 14 December 1859, she as she conducted trials of her newly installed steam engine under Commander Choux,[2] she ran aground on Île Longue. All efforts to raise her proved fruitless and she was scrapped.[1] Her engine was used on Jean Bart.[2] Notes, citations, and referencesNotes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Roche, vol.1, p.162
