Euryale was a Gorgon in Greek mythology.
The Euryale[ø.ʁjal] was a Génie-class brig of the French Navy. Begun in 1849 at Rochefort, construction was suspended in 1853 and not resumed for eight years. She was launched on 11 November 1863 and commissioned early the next year as a transport vessel. In 1867 she collided with an American ship in San Francisco harbour. The French government sued for damages which were initially awarded but, after a lengthy legal case that ended in the Supreme Court, the French crew were ruled to be jointly at fault and damages were split between the two parties.
