Yes it is. I haven't built this one, but I did build the later
France
, (1911) also a five-masted barque.
I did the above drawing last year.

This is the later
France
. A much larger ship with twin-screw diesel engines as well, but no royals. Eventually, the engines were removed, leaving her the largest commercial sailing ship powered only by the wind.
