About this object
A photograph of the crew of the French Barque Anjou on the Auckland Islands.
The Anjou was shipwrecked 5 February 1905. The twenty-two crew survived on provisions from the provision depot until early May 1905 when they were rescued by the New Zealand Government S.S. Hinemoa.
The crew are pictured in the photograph. Possibly the man at the centre of the image is Captain Le Tallec of the Anjou.
Photographer, Russell Duncan.
Date, 8 May 1905.
