Dear Jen, Thank you for this and kind offer of better quality image. Yes would like one. How done?
Do you know which ship is the Gazelle? I have not found a description of either. I suspect the Gazelle is the two masted one to left but looking for confirmation.
have you any other leads as to whom of the three officers the image is of?
Was Allan Hughan an ancestor?
I will be giving my talk in Sydney June 13th and in Melbourne the following Tuesday. Please come if you can though it looks like a trek from your home town.
Best, Mick
Connecticut

Dear Sir,
I am searching for an image of the French warship Gazelle Capt. Vollet commanding which was on service in the South Pacific in 1869 -70.
I did find your 2014 posted images of a French Naval Officer who may have been said Captain.
Were you able to identify the man in the two CdVs?
Have you ever searched for and found an image of the Gazelle?
I am working up a talk on the 1869 Sydney (NSW) Port of Call of the USS Kearsarge. The Gazelle was at anchor with the US Ship and Capt. Vollet attended and spoke at a banquet in honor of the US officers.
Any help would be welcome. Thanks B Hadley
