Bantry House and Armada Exhibition CentreCo. CorkBANTRY BAY, JANUARY 1797 The relief of the pitifully small force of defenders on shore was short-lived: the wind changed. By January 1st, 12 ships with 4,500 troops were anchored off Whiddy Island, within 2 miles of the town of Bantry. The French again failed to land and headed for home on January 3rd, leaving behind them the veteran frigate La Surveillante. Too storm-battered to return to France, she was scuttled off Whiddy Island on January 2nd, 1797. THE ARMADA The Armada consisted of 19 Ships-of-the-line, 13 Frigates, 6 Gorvettes/Luggers, 9 Transports. Carrying 15,000 troops and with 15,000 seamen to crew the 47 ships, the Armada also carried arms & ammunition for use by the United Irishmen & their supporters. LA SURVEILLANTE 1778 0 1797 Built at Lorient, this frigate had a distinguished record of service: barely a year after being launched she defeated the English Frigate Quebec in a famous single-ship action. La Surveillante is now the focus of a major Irish underwater archaelogy project, having been designated a National Monument in 1985. In 1765 at Bordeaux, the shipwright Guignace built La Belle Poule, establishing the standard for his later frigates, including La Surveillante. Research on La Belle Poule by the French maritime historian Jean Boudriot has enabled this model to be built. By 1780 only 12 French Navy Ships, all frigates, are known to have had their hulls sheathed with copper. One of these was la Surveillante, coppered during a refit in May 1779. Take the time to discover the Bantry 1796 French Armada Exhibitiona Centre. The Exhibition Centre is both educational an entertaining.
