I do not specialise in French barques aground, but this one, the Vincennes, obviously became quite a tourist attraction when she went aground on Manley beach in Australia.  She was re-floated and repaired.  I love the figures in their formal clothes enjoying  the spectacle, so painted this watercolour of the scene.

A painted ship upon a painted ocean.   This calm evening in the Ionian provided a nice setting with the islands of Ithaca and Cephalonia in the background.

The French built many splendid barques.  This watercolour shows the Babin - Chevay making her way down the Bristol Channel on a cloudy day with the coaster Two Sisters passing ahead and fishing boats on the horizon.
