In French
The
corvette takes its place in our navy only beginning
in 1696 when it is referred to as a "corvette or
long bark." It appears in annual inventories until
1746 when the term "long bark" falls off and only
the name "corvette"is retained. We felt it was
important to choose a distinctive example of this
type of ship in our navy during the Restoration.
Hence the choice of the Créole, whose
celebrity is heightened by the role she played in
San Juan de Ulloa, Mexico, in 1838, under the
command of the young prince de Joinville.
The first part of the work is devoted to the
history of the corvette in our navy over a period
of nearly two centuries. An original text and
numerous documents of the period are guaranteed to
please enthusiasts of French naval history.
The second part is especially intended for ship's
model builders. Fifteen plates describe the
Créole in full detail and several
photographs of the original model, now preserved in
the collections of the Musée de la Marine in
Paris, enrich the monograph. *
The study of the rigging is developed in depth. In
short, this is a monograph of exemplary quality.
The 1:48 scale we have chosen will allow practiced
model builders to construct a first-rate piece.
