I can't work out what type of thing it is. Not functional, not a building, not a statue or monument. What am I missing i wonder.
Don't say.

Maybe I misunderstood "functional structure". It did indeed have a function at the time, but I wouldn’t call it a structure (it’s not a building, bridge, oil platform etc.).
It’s not in France.

There’s only one of it, yes, but other objects that served the same purpose are also preserved and put on display in museums.

From Wiki:
The ship was not intended for long voyages but for warfare, trade, transportation of people and cargo.
Still, a replica of the ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1893.
