Navarin was a late 100-gun Hercule-class ship of the line of the French Navy, transformed into a Sail and Steam ship.
Service history
Navarin was used as a troopship in the Crimean War before becoming a schoolship in 1862. In 1873, her engine was removed and she became a sailing transport for prisoners sent in deportation in New Caledonia.[1]
She became a hulk in Brest in 1887 and was eventually broken up in 1908.[1]
