Muiron — French Frigate

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A fleet at anchor in a bay. Not a named portrait of Muiron.

Overview

Muiron is already named on the Battle of the Nile 1798 — Overview and the Egyptian Expedition 1798–1801. In August 1799 Bonaparte slipped back to France in her, leaving the army in Egypt.¹

Service

This note covers that passage only. A gun-count, a captain, and a later career stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. A Napoleon biography stays off this vault pass.

The Nile on 1–2 August 1798 had destroyed or taken eleven of thirteen French ships of the line, which is why the army could not be reinforced or evacuated by sea.²
