Wagram Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Long time ago, a nice contemporary representation of the ship in colour, attributed to F. J. Emeric, could be found on the net. Still there, but the resolution is lousy: https://www.tessier-sarrou.com/lot/841/268990?npp=100&offset=100& A slightly better picture of the bow section only can be found in a second catalogue (p.4): http://www.la-rose-des-vents.com/anciens catalogues/Marseille 02.pdf If someone has better pictures - thanks for sharing. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
