I then set up the battle at its height. The first three images show the doubling of the French fleet's van. The last one shows the action around L'Orient. HMS Bellerophon is shown on the far broadside of L'Orient. A 74 gun ship, she took extensive damage in the battle. L'Orient caught fire and exploded. For those not read up on it, the British fleet engaged near sundown, but I thought pictures of darkness would not be very entertaining.
