He came to the attention of Frederik Danneskiold-Sams\u00f8e,[1][Note 1] when in 1739 the newly formed Danish Naval Construction Commission was seeking a replacement chief designer and shipbuilder. Barb\u00e9 enjoyed Danneskiold’s patronage and protection for some six years but fell out of favour when Danneskiold retired from the Construction Commission.[2]Table of ContentsPersonal life[edit]Shipbuilder to the Royal Danish Navy[edit]Barb\u00e9’s ships[edit]References[edit]Personal life[edit]Nothing is known of Laurent Barb\u00e9’s personal or professional life before Copenhagen. He married Brigitte Agnes Mariane Schenck, some thirty years his junior, the daughter of a senior officer in royal lifeguard regiment.[2]Shipbuilder to the Royal Danish Navy[edit]The design of Barb\u00e9’s first ship of the line for Denmark (which would become Elephanten 1741) was produced by Barb\u00e9 as part of a competition between him and another French shipbuilder, du Chemin, for the position of the new master shipbuilder to the Danish fleet. Barb\u00e9’s  employment dated from 6 May 1740,[2] by which time construction of the new ship had already started.[3]  Despite concerns over the quality of its keel, Elephanten proved to be an excellent ship and the technical drawings set the standard for future work.[2]He was reticent about revealing his construction methods to the Danish Naval Construction Commission which caused some problems but as a protege of Danneskiold-Sams\u00f8e he survived in his position. Barb\u00e9 also designed a frigate, a slightly smaller ship of the line (of 70 guns) and a royal yacht. Elephanten was judged to be an excellent ship when it entered service, and the technical drawings became a standard for future similar ships. He also had failures and his small frigate (which may have been a brigantine -see below) HDMS \u00c6roe was a very mediocre sailer.In 1743, he obtained various French ship designs, which were built at Copenhagen and in 1744 was commissioned to design and build a galley – which proved a good sailing vessel but responded poorly when rowing.With the departure of Danneskiold, Count of Sams\u00f8e in November 1746, Barb\u00e9 lost all support in the shipyard, had disagreements with the Construction Commission and was retired on a pension of 500 rdl in 1747.His collection of design drawings was seized on his dismissal and put into the Danish admiralty’s collection for future use.[Note 2]Barb\u00e9 continued to live in Copenhagen until his death, in straitened circumstances, on 21 March 1764.[2]HDMS Elephanten (1773) is credited to the design of Barb\u00e9, although she was launched 26 years after Barb\u00e9’s departure. (The plans available on line, for ornamentation drawn in 1772 and receiving royal approval, are signed H\u00e5ndv\u00e6rksmester\/Bygmester: M\u00f8llerup).[4]Barb\u00e9’s ships[edit]The Royal Danish Navy’s database[4][Note 3] attributes the following ships designs to Barb\u00e9. Note that many of them were built after Barb\u00e9 left his position in the Danish shipyards, indeed one after his death:Christians\u00f8e 1741 frigateCronprindsen 1756 ship of the lineDannemark 1757 ship of the lineDocqven 1747 frigateDronning Juliana Maria 1752 ship of the lineElephanten 1741 ship of the lineElephanten  1773 ship of the lineJaegersborg 1745 boat\/galley[5]Nellebladet 1746 ship of the line[6]Neptunus 1750 ship of the lineSams\u00f8e (22) 1746 frigateS\u00e6lland (Sj\u00e6lland) 1750 ship of the line[7]Tre Croner (Tre Kroner) 1742 ship of the lineRecorded elsewhere\u00c6r\u00f8e 1744 brigantine of 10 guns and a crew of 53[8]^ Count Frederik Danneskiold-Sams\u00f8e was appointed head of the Danish navy in 1735^ The article at Danish Wikipedia da:Laurent Barb\u00e9 implies that Barb\u00e9 had to be brought back on a consultancy basis^ The Royal Danish Naval Museum website carries the caveat that not all entries have been fully confirmed from the Danish Archives.
