Lena (1814)


The Iéna was a line ship of the Commerce class of Paris belonging to the French Navy, being the third of the four ships of the French navy to carry the name. It was designed in 1805 with the name of Victoreux but it was not until 1814 when it was already dropped with its definitive name. During the Hundred Days was renamed Duc d'Angoulême until July when it regained its previous name. He was part of the French fleet in the Crimean War of 1854 and was retired from service in 1864 although he served as a pontoon at Toulon until 1915.
