François Coulomb The Elder

picture info	François Coulomb The Elder François Coulomb the Elder was a French naval architect and builder of warships (''ingénieur-constructeur''), the son of Laurent Coulomb. François Coulomb was born on 24 January 1654 at La Ciotat, and died on 20 March 1717 at Toulon. He was first known on the archives under the name of "Coulomb fils" because he collaborated with his father, Laurent Coulomb, in constructing naval ships; then he became "François père" because his own son, also named François, worked in collaboration with him. In 1680, he occupied himself with the school of construction at Toulon, and wrote a manual of construction. He took the place of his father at Toulon, when the latter was named constructor at Lorient in 1690. In the course of his career he designed and built at Toulon 34 ships for the King of France, plus 2 ships for the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (the Knights of Malta). Ships of the line designed and built by François Coulomb the Elder In addition, two ships of 64 guns each were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Aft View Of Louis Quinze - Contemporary Model - (cropped) "Aft", in nautical terminology, is an adjective or adverb meaning towards the stern (rear) of the ship, aircraft or spacecraft, when the frame of reference is within the ship, headed at the fore. For example, "Able Seaman Smith; lie aft!" or "What's happening aft?". The corresponding adjective in distinguishing one feature of the vessel from another is "after". Its antonym is "forward". The corresponding preposition is "abaft". For example, the mizzenmast is abaft the mainmast. Its antonym is "before" or, in a more clumsy form, "forward of". The difference between "aft" and "stern" is that aft is the (on board) rearmost part of the vessel, while stern refers to the (offboard) rearmost part of the vessel. The stern is opposite the bow, the outside (offboard) of the front of the boat. The term derives from the Old English Old English (, ), or Anglo-Saxon, is the earliest recorded form of the English language, spoken in England and southern and eastern Scotland in t ...

	French Ship Tonnant (1693) The ''Tonnant'' was a First Rank ship of the line of the French Royal Navy, the lead vessel in the two-ship ''Tonnant'' Class (her sister being the ''Saint Philippe''). This ship was ordered in late 1692 to be built at Toulon Dockyard, and on 20 January 1693 she was allotted the name ''Tonnant'', taking the name of a ship lost in the action at La Hogue in June 1692. The designer and builder of both ships was François Coulomb, and they represented an enlargement of his design of 1691 for the ''Sceptre'', with an extra pair of guns (and gunports) added on each level. They were three-decker ships without forecastles. The ''Tonnant'' was launched on September 1693 and completed in December of the same year. She was initially armed with 90 guns, comprising twenty-eight 36-pounders on the lower deck, thirty 18-pounders on the middle deck, twenty-six 12-pounders on the upper deck, and six 6-pounders on the quarterdeck.
