Orignal was a 62-gun Saint Laurent-class ship of the line of the French Navy,[2] built by R.N. Levasseur. Her keel was laid down in March 1749 and she was launched in Québec on 2 September 1750.[3][4]

Originally built as a 62-gun ship, she was intended to be upgraded to 72 guns.[1] Built with poor quality timber, she broke in two halves and sank at her launch[2] on 2 September 1750[1]
