| ==Demerliac request 27 February 2022== | |||
| Hi Rama: Hope all is well with you. I just put up an article on {{ship||Air Balloon|1784 Hull ship}}. In 1797 the French privateer ''Hawk'' captured her off Norway. I think ''Hawk'', or her name in French, was a privateer lugger operating out of Calais. Does Demerliac have anything on her? Thanks, ] (]) 02:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC) | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| : I'll sleep when I'm dead, but I should hardly think that I am the one to complain... | |||
| : ''Hawk'' would be ''Faucon'' in French, but I do not have any matching ship. | |||
| : ''Air Ballon'', what a fascinating name! | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| ::Thanks for trying. It is a great name, which is why I detoured a little to write tht two of them up. Well, at some point we will get lucky again. Regards, ] (]) 11:44, 28 February 2022 (UTC) | |||
| ::Hi Rama, I was just looking at {{ship||Air Balloon|1784 Hull ship}} again and saw that the name the French privateer that captured her was ''Emouchet'', not ''Hawk''. Does Demerliac have anything on ''Emouchet''?. Regards, ] (]) 20:45, 24 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Hello ], | |||
| ::: Well, Today I Learned, as they say. | |||
| ::: ''Émouchet'' (no 1902, p.231), privateer lugger built by Michel Colin-Olivier between 1795 and 1796, commissioned in Dieppe in April 1796. First cruise between April 1796 and March 1797 under François Clémence, with 12 guns; another cruise in 1797 under a Captain Tourneux. | |||
| ::: Cheers! ] (]) 18:24, 27 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Hi Rama, excellent result. I added the info both to the ''Air Balloon'' article and to the article on {{HMS|Albatross|1795}} that I am preparing. Cheers, ] (]) 21:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ⚫ | Hello, | ||
| ==Demerliac request 6 July 2023== | |||
| Hi Rama, I was adding some info to {{ship||Chaser|1786 ship}} and noticed that in 1795 the French privateer ''Libertie'' captured her. (The Spanish recaptured ''Chaser'' and she returned to British ownership.) Does Demerliac have anything on ''Libertie''? Regards, ] (]) 09:45, 6 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| : Hello, | |||
| : Weirdly enough, I do not have any privateer of the name active in 1795, although I expect that dozens were active each year from 1790 to 1800. Could she have been a small naval ship, corvette or brig? | |||
| : Cheers! ] (]) 10:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::Great suggestion. I found a highly possible candidate privateer corvette that operated out of Guadeloupe in 1794–1795, so the relevant time-frame and theatre of operation. Thanks.] (]) 17:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ==French sources request 24 July 2023== | |||
| Hi Rama, User:Broichmore approached me concerning these two files: ], and ]. I can find nothing in my sources. It looks like both pictures are a tribute to a Captain Jn Adrian, first in 1799 as captain of the corsair ''Mouche'', and second, in 1800, of the schooner ''Abeille''. Does Demerliac have anything, or do any of your other sources? The English translation of the description under the first picture is pretty incoherent, probably due to a poor transcription of an almost as incoherent French description. Regards, ] (]) 20:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi Rama, Please check my translation and date. ] (]) 08:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::Hi Broichmore: Apologies. Did not mean to impune your translation or transcription. I could not make any sense of the original text under the picture, and my attempt to translate the transcription made no sense either. ] (]) 15:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::Me too. I ran it through Google and MS. I changed it since initial contact with you. Think the meaning is (my latest effort)": 'On 14th Germinal (July), year 7 (1799) of the French Republic in the lance of Colognia (Coast of Spain). Combat of the Corsair la Mouche armed with 8. guns. Cap Jh Adrian. Against a Cutter of 16 nine pounder guns for 4 hours, determined to resume his hold on Lavantoroso which the said Corsair had kidnapped from him the previous night when under his Escort'. My date needs checking. The inscription is very cryptic. ] (]) 09:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| I'm new to contributing to Wikimedia and Misplaced Pages, with a specific interest and focus of mine being Mesoamerican history and archeology, and contributing photos from museums on those topics. I was wanting to get in touch with you regarding advice for taking and processing photos; best practices for how to list and present metadata and information on file pages and via Wikidata, as well as to talk about potentially you taking some photos of specific exhibits in France. | |||
| :::: Hello, | |||
| ::::*''Mouche'': The transcription looks about right, with the word ''cotte'' for what would now be written ''côte'' ("coast"). Similarly ''l'ance'' for ''l'anse'' (narrow bay). You have most of the meaning, I just tried to put the words in a more friendly order: | |||
| :::: "On the 14 Germinal year 7 of the French Republic, in the Bay of Colonia on the coast of Spain, 4-hour long fight of the privateer ''Mouche'', armed with an 8-pounder swivel gun, under Captain Jean Adrian, against a 16-nine-pounder gun cutter, to recapture the prize called ''Lavantoroso'' (?) which said privateer had captured the previous night while was escorting ." | |||
| :::: The only privateer listed under that name with compatible dates was a privateer corvette from Bordeaux, much larger and stronger than the gunboat involved here, so no luck. | |||
| ::::*''Abeille'': the transcription and translation are both quite good. The image depicts ''Abeille'' as she manages to sneak through the British blockade, a feat of sailmanship from which one could quite reasonably take pride. | |||
| :::: ''Abeille'' (no 2425, p.296 of ''1800-1815'') was a French privateer commissioned in Cadiz in May 1800. She cruised under Captain J. Adrien, who came from Martigues, from May 1800 to January 1801. Sadly nothing more is said here. | |||
| :::: Cheers! ] (]) 09:37, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::: PS: 14 Germinal year 7 is 3 April 1799 of the Gregorian calendar. "Germinal" means "the month where plants bloom", so in spring; July covers parts of Messidor ("month of harvest") and Thermidor ("the month of heat"). Cheers! ] (]) 09:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: Excellent. Many thanks. Alas the mouche is ], which would have been a coup. ] (]) 11:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Gentles: In the article {{HMS|Moucheron|1802|2}}, there is mention of a privateer ''Abeille'' operating out of Cadiz in 1800. I am guessing that she is our ''Abeille''. The picture with her running the blockade would make a good addition to the article. Unfortunately, ''Moucheron'' is too big to be ''Mouche''. I am going to add the Demerliac description to the ''Moucheron'' article. Regards, ] (]) 17:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Rama, {{u|Acad Ronin}} I just added a Cammillieri picture ], albeit temporarily. I'm wondering whether or not we have identified the ships correctly, especially the Englishman? Slight inconsistancies between Roux, Cammillieri and the article. Build date for ''Comtesse Emeriau''? Coincidentally, this sailor also comes from Martiques. This gives Comtesse and Princess for the name of the ship, I begin to wonder if we have the same pirate, even, for this and the previous messages about the ''Mouche''? _ ] (]) 17:36, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||

| :OK. The English ship was ''Harvey'', Atkinson, master, of 260 tons (bm), launched at Whitby in 1802. The English account of the capture is in ''Lloyd's List''.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Marine List |work=Lloyd's List |issue=4507 |date=2 November 1810 |hdl=2027/hvd.32044105232938?urlappend=%3Bseq=413}}</ref> Unfortunately, I can't find her in Wetherill's book on Whitby and its shipping. If I could, I would be willing to chance a small article on ''Harvey''. A secondary source and a picture would go a long way to establishing notability. An English article on ''Countess Emerieau'' would be possible, but would take a long time to prepare. Between the picture and the French sources it would be OK.

| Hi Rama, {{u|Acad Ronin}}, I got ] a while ago and seperately a cropped detail of it. The institution got horribly mixed up on the title, they differ for both images. I believe this is ''The Pinco ''Conception'' in Battle with Xebec Le ''Volcan'', 1804''. The Volcan is flying a British flag, RN? Its not inconceivable that the names are mixed up against type here. I can't find the caption, its been chopped off. Any ideas? ] (]) 09:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
