Beautiful workmanship........is this ship design same as the French Warship Le Magnifique built in 1748?

Le Fleuron, built in Toulon, was the first 64 guns war ship, an original new conception, well delimited, and which will be very often copied

Later, it was known as the first one of a numerous french family of french 2nd range 64 guns war ships

Le Magnifique was also a 2nd range vessel, but with 74 guns, built in Rochefort shipyard, and not about the same plan with le Fleuron
