Not correct. Here is what the offical (basic) rules say:

4. A ship may fire at a single enemy ship in a broadside's field of fire subject to two conditions:
a. The ship being fired upon must be the closest in the number of hexes to the firing ship of all ships in the field of fire;
b. if the "closest ship" happens to be a land hex, friendly ship, surrendered or captured ship, or a hulk, the field of fire is BLOCKED and the ship may not fire that broadside in that turn."

Since the "closest ship" in your case was a friendly ship, your boadside (fire) was blocked.

The Advanced game would have be different. I think you might have been able to fire a patial boadside.

So yes, the ship should not have fired. Sorry, but there it is on PAGE 5 of the rulebook.

Sorry for your riggings but the broadside is corrrect

The firing ship can track the frontal section of the Princess. It is not necessary that all the "two hexs" occupied by the firing ship has a clear Line Of Sight till the target. Just one is enough, but the target must be the closest ship in this version.

hope it help

Ville de Paris shot at Princes's Rigging.
But clearly, the Ville de Paris should not have been able to fire because both the bow and stern hexes could not trace a clear line of sight, or clear path to the Princes.

I'll double check this in the rules, but I'm pretty sure both the bow and stern hexes have to have a clear path for a broadside to take place.
