Ordered on 24 April 1804 as Illustre, Dantzig was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy.
In 1807, she crossed from Antwerp to Vlissingen for fitting out.[1]
At the Bourbon Restoration, she was renamed to Achille. Found to need a complete refit on 10 June 1816 she was struck later that year.[3]
