laarmada Posted May 9, 2018 #1 Posted May 9, 2018 I have seen the model of the French ship Le triomphant, also L Ocean found in Paris. What I am interested in knowing is how was the decoration, specifically the colors, of the French ships in 1805 approximately. The models are white and black, ivory and ebony, but that was, I think, a convention of the modelers. Thanks CharlieZardoz 1
mtaylor Posted May 10, 2018 #2 Posted May 10, 2018 I vaguely remember a monograph being offered for L'Ocean. I'll have to do some digging as to where but then, I might be remembering wrong.
