Cuirassé a malta Janvier 1912.

[culverin]

Apologies for writing this in English, my French is not good enough to be understood.

In late January 1912 the temporary British Royal Yacht HMS Medina visited Malta with King George V on his return from India.
There was a French Battle (Cuirassé) Squadron in Grand Harbour and the King visited and inspected the Danton, flag of Admiral Boué de Lapayere, when Danton was damaged there he transferred his flag to Vérité.
Which other Cuirassé were present, i do know at least one more was either Justice or Démocratie.
Can each surviving Liberté class be identified by their funnel bands at this date ?

Merci. Thank you. Sean.

Bonsoir à tous,
sauf erreur de ma part, les cuirassés DANTON, JUSTICE et VERITE et les torpilleurs CARABINIER et LANSQUENET participèrent aux fêtes de Malte, en présence du Roi George V de retour des Indes.
