Career
Pacificateur was started at Brest in May 1801, under the supervision of engineer Antoine Geoffroy and after plans by Sané.[1] In 1804, recurrent difficulties in bringing construction timber to Brest, compounded by a criminal fire at the arsenal in February, led Bonaparte to order all construction ceased there.[1]
