La Couronne                                                                                                              The first great ship to be completely designed and constructed by the French. On the orders of Cardinal Richelieu, the work was entrusted to the famous  master craftsman Charles Morier of Dieppe. The ship was completed in 1636 in the La Roche Bernard shipyard and was one of the most imposing vessels of that time. Special attention was paid to the sculptural decoration of the ship which was carried out by famous sculptors in wood.
