There is lots of info about. Try searching under French ships at Trafalgar.  Admiral Villeneuve flew his flag in Bucentaure at Trafalgar. another well documented is Captaine Lucas in Redoubtable Some links here may get you started

Hi Shihtzu

You might need to be careful with your own spelling when searching.  For example, it is Napoleon (with an e, not an i).  Double-check all your spelling before you click on the "Search" button!
