Bonjour,


I look for the history of this ship during the 2WW.

Le président HOUDUCE chalutier (it "become" a patrol ship >1940) and sometimes an armed patrol ship.
Built in 1930. 1200 tonnes, in french

Going out Fécamp the 20 June 1940
..to go to Gibraltar

Meet Amiral Muselier in Gibraltar who said: "The best fot you is to coming with General De Gaulle in England now! (28 juin 1940)

It is one of the first french ships OK with F N F L (=ships of the General De Gaulle)

Going to Dakar 10 september 1940 against...others french warsailors (really)

I look for this ship and if poss, my uncle: Jean Gauchet from Saint Malo who was mecanic man on this ship. I do not know excactly the days.

Best thanks to read and answer.

Jean Gauchet
