French career and capture ''Modeste'' was laid down at Toulon in April 1756 to a design by Noël Pomet, and was launched on 12 February 1759. Work on her was completed by May 1759, and she joined Chef d'escadre Jean-François de La Clue-Sabran's fleet in the port. The Seven Years' War was being fought at the time, and the Toulon fleet was being blockaded by Admiral Edward Boscawen. Taking advantage of the British fleet's departure for supplies, the French left port and sailed into the Atlantic. There they were chased and finally brought to battle by Boscawen off Lagos, Portugal. The ensuing Battle of Lagos, fought between 18 and 19 August 1759, saw the defeat of the French fleet, with two of their ships destroyed and three taken.

Created by André Franquin, it was first published in ''Tintin'' magazine on 19 October 1955. Publication history In 1955 comic-book artist André Franquin got into a dispute with Dupuis, the publishers of '' Spirou'' magazine, over financial arrangements concerning his characters.
