At the time of launch or shortly thereafter, the ship was also called Thésée .
Only one mission is known which is related to the English attack on Walcheren. The 20 ships of the line lying in Antwerp were supposed to leave for an attack on the British landing forces on June 30th. But since British troops had already occupied important entrenchments on the bank, the attack was first abandoned and then the ships were brought to safety behind a floating barrier at Fort Lillo .
After the end of the Napoleonic Empire, the ship was renamed Atlas . As early as 1819, the ship was removed from the list of active ships under the new Kingdom of the Netherlands and listed as the Hulk.
