Two of them have suffered severe storm damage: their masts are broken, rigging torn, and sails ripped or furled \u2014 silent witnesses to the dangers posed by monsoon winds and tropical storms to navigation in these waters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1538\">When the French expedition visited Ambon, the island was by then only a regional administrative centre within the Moluccas, which during the VOC period had been the seat of Dutch authority in the archipelago. The print thus records a moment of encounter between the French expedition and the weakened, yet still present, Dutch colonial maritime power in the East Indies.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro
