Description
Sunrise looking like fire behind the 47 metre long, three masted, pirate ship moored in St Malo Harbour.
The vessel is similar to the type of frigate used by the Corsairs of St Malo and is armed with 20 smooth bore cannons. These frigates were scout ships and message carriers rather than battle ships but were however used to assist in attacking commercial vessels - hence the cannons.
The replica L'Etoile du Roy has been used in numerous TV series including Hornblower, Papillon and To the Ends of the Earth.
