I love this old photograph. Or sketch...the format is unusual, being sketch-like in quality, yet printed on very thin sepia coloured paper. It was in an old envelope amongst the Hughan material held by my great-uncle, Gordon Oakley, and nobody realised its significance until we started to unravel the story of Allan Hughan and the shipwreck.There is a signature in the bottom right hand corner, too faint for me to distinguish, and underneath is written "Le Surcouf", then another word followed by "Gazelle".
