Månis Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nope, not La Sirene. La Sirene has 4 gunports in the rear, this one only has 2. And the decorations doesnt match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surcouf Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Perhaps it is the french ship le St. Louis, built in 1666-1667 in Amsterdam for the king. In the center of the table there is the coat of arms of France and Navarre. http://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/16/20/79/11/image15.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Månis Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 They do almost look like it's the same ship but there is still some difference with the decorations, mainly around the coat of arms. Did St. Louis have any sisterships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I do not know if le St. Louis have a sistership. For me the two drawings show the same boat, either one is the outline of the other, or they are two different artists who have drawn the same boat. It is not planes but drawings, it is possible that the authors is deformed or interpreted decoration boat. Either way it is not certain that this drawing represented le St. Louis. This is a guess. Unfortunately I have no other information about the boat ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
