Sailor's love token for or from W B with an image of the Ville de Paris, late 18th century

The Ville de Paris, built at Rochefort, laid down in 1757 as Impétueux but renamed after Paris, the city that funded her construction. She was completed in 1764, a 90-gun first rate. She fought at the Battle of Ushant (1778) and sailed for the West Indies and Americas in 1781 and fought at the Battles of Fort Royal, the Chesapeake and St. Kitts. On 12 April 1782, at the Battle of the Saintes, she was captured by Admiral Hood on HMS Barfleur, under the command of Admiral Rodney. In September 1782 she was hit by a hurricane off Newfoundland on the voyage back to England and sank with the loss of all hands but one.

Ma bibliothèque volante # 53

Je viens de changer le titre de ce rendez-vous, les emprunts à la bibliothèque est devenu Ma bibliothèque volante dans le sens qu'elle n'est pas immuable. Elle bouge tout le temps et les livres vont et viennent, d'où volante !
