| Description |
English: Loss of the 'Blanche', March 4th 1807 Inscribed: (below) "Loss of the 'Blanche', March 4th 1807."; and (above) "From a plan by Sir T. Lavil [sic]". Captain Thomas Lavie was in command of the frigate 'Blanche' when she was wrecked whilst cruising off Ushant on 4 March 1807, with the loss of forty-five lives, and imprisonment of the survivors at Brest for the remainder of the Napoleonic Wars. A court martial on 2 June 1814 honourably acquitted Lavie and his officers of the loss of 'Blanche', finding that iron stanchions, cranks and arms under the half-deck had affected her compasses, in turn causing her navigation to be faulty. Hand-coloured. |
