French ship Friedland (1840)

French ship Friedland (1840)

The "Friedland" was an "Océan" class 118-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Her keel was laid down in Cherbourg in 1812 as "Inflexibe". During her construction, she was renamed "Friedland", "Duc de Bordeaux" during the Bourbon Restoration, "Friedland" again briefly during the Hundred Days and back to "Duc de Bordeaux" thereafter. On 9 October 1830, following the July Revolution, she took her name of "Friedland". She was finally launched on 4 March 1840.

She was decommissioned from 1852 to 1853, when she took back service and served in the Crimean war. In 1857, work was undertaked to convert her to a steam and sail ship, but the conversion was aborted in February 1858 and the engine was eventually installed on the "Turenne".

From March 1865, she was used as barracks hulk in Toulon, as "Colosse".
