Query on this picture

[edit]

Hi Rama, Acad Ronin I just added a Cammillieri picture here, albeit temporarily. I'm wondering whether or not we have identified the ships correctly, especially the Englishman? Slight inconsistancies between Roux, Cammillieri and the article. Build date for Comtesse Emeriau? Coincidentally, this sailor also comes from Martiques. This article gives Comtesse and Princess for the name of the ship, I begin to wonder if we have the same pirate, even, for this and the previous messages about the Mouche? Another article _ Broichmore (talk) 17:36, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. The English ship was Harvey, Atkinson, master, of 260 tons (bm), launched at Whitby in 1802. The English account of the capture is in Lloyd's List. cite news |title=The Marine List |work=Lloyd's List |issue=4507 |date=2 November 1810 |hdl=2027/hvd.32044105232938?urlappend=%3Bseq=413
Unfortunately, I can't find her in Wetherill's book on Whitby and its shipping. If I could, I would be willing to chance a small article on Harvey. A secondary source and a picture would go a long way to establishing notability. An English article on Countess Emerieau would be possible, but would take a long time to prepare. Between the picture and the French sources it would be OK. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2023 (UTC) Acad Ronin (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
