How much powder could a first rate carry?

How many tons of powder would a first-rate ship carry?

Potentially hundreds of tons of powder and ammunition, though L'Orient's exact remaining load is uncertain because stores had been issued to the army.

Part of the expedition's stores may have been offloaded for the army, so L'Orient's remaining powder load is uncertain. The estimate of hundreds of tons rests on a ship of roughly 5,000 tons with about 120 guns. The armament list ranges from 36-pounders to 8-pounders and includes carronades. The exact remaining quantity is not established.
