French ship Apollon (1788)

The "Apollon" was a "Téméraire" class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Between 1791 and 1793, she was based in Saint-Domingue.

During the Siege of Toulon, her commanding officer, captain Imbert, negotiated the surrender of the town with Admiral Hood aboard HMS "Victory". After the siege, she ferried 1500 anti-revolutionnary prisoners to Rochefort, where most of them were executed.

She took part in the Bataille du 13 prairial an 2 and to the Croisière du Grand Hiver of Winter 1794-1795 campaign.

She was eventually broken up in 1798
