N° 37 - Uli Grohmann - Germany -



Thank you very much Uli for this nice collage about
Jules-Sébastien-César Dumont d'Urville :
"He is said to have won the Venus de Milo for France in 1919/1920 and to have identified the site of La Perouse's shipwreck in Vanikoro (part of the archipelago of the Solomon Islands) in 1828."

"It's narrated that - while trying to load the statue aboard the ship - she lost her, since them missing arms, during a quarrel between two ship completements about the question who might be the real owner of the statue"
