FOUDROYANT, THE. English, Reel (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The original Foudroyant was a first-rate shop of the line of the French Royal Navy, designed by Hélie, however, it never took to sea and was broken up between 1742 and 1743. However, Rutherford's title probably refers to a subsequent French ship named Foudroyant, launched in 1750. She was part of a squadron under Jean-François de La Clue-Sabran, but was captured by the British navy during the Battle of Cartagena (Spain) in February, 1758. Assumed into the British Navy (where her name was retained), the Foudroyant saw meritorious service for the next thirty years, including the capture in 1782 of the French 74-gun Pégase, for which her captain John Jervis was knighted. The Foudroyant was broken up in 1787.
