The French gunship Soleil Royal was part of King Louis XIV's Navy.
Soleil Royal was a French ship of the line with 104 guns, the flagship of Admiral Tourville. Soleil Royal was built in Brest in 1668-1670 by engineer Laurent Hubac and launched in 1669 , but unfortunately remained unused in the Brest port for years.
Later Soleil Royal was returned to service with 112 guns and 1,200 men on board when the Nine Years' War broke out in 1688 . Its role was fundamental as the flagship of the Escadre du Ponant (Western Division). It was said to be a magnificent sailing ship , and its decorations were among the most beautiful and elaborate of all Baroque ships . The emblem of the "Sun" (Soleil) was chosen by Louis XIV as his personal symbol.
