L’OrenoqueBuilt in 1848, L’Orenoque was the first French frigate with mixed propulsion sail-steam. Although equipped with mechanical propulsion advanced in conception, it kept the typical masting of the frigates in that time. Scarcely armed, L’Orenoque was used in particular to transport troops. She displaced 2,568 tons.
