Career edit

She took part in the Pastry War under lieutenant commander de Joinville, and most notably in the Bombardment of San Juan de Ulloa.

On 20 January 1844, Créole was driven ashore on Negropont, Greece. She was refloated on 27 January with assistance from HMS Vesuvius and taken in to Piraeus, Greece, where she sank. She was later refloated.[2][3]

Model edit

A finely crafted shipyard model is on display at the Musée national de la Marine in Paris. It was originally stored in the office of the prince de Joinville.
