Under the command of Captain Janassen, this impressive ship was manned by a crew of 25 skilled sailors. The photograph showcases the sheer grandeur and elegance of La Rochefoucauld's towering masts and billowing sails against the backdrop of tranquil waters. It is evident that this vessel was built to withstand even the harshest maritime conditions while exuding an air of sophistication.
