Le croiseur cuirassé Montcalm

Le croiseur cuirassé Montcalm (1898-1926) (collection agence Adhémar)

Croiseur cuirassé mis sur cale aux Forges & chantiers de la Méditerranée à La Seyne le 27 septembre 1898 et lancé le 27 mars 1900. Bien que n'ayant pas terminé ses essais, Montcalm mène le président de la République Émile Loubet en Russie. A Cronstadt le 20 mai 1902, le tsar vient déjeuner à bord le 23. Montcalm parcourut pendant de nombreuses années les mers de Chine. En août 1914, il est à Tahiti, puis participe à la prise des Îles Samoa avec les Australiens.
En 1925, il est en protection du canal de suez. En janvier 1916, il est de retour à Toulon.
de septembre 1916 à avril 1917, il fait un aller-retour de Brest aux Antilles. En novembre 1921, il fut envoyé à Singapour pour attendre le maréchal Joffre qu'il accompagna pendant quatre mois au cours de sa visite en Extrême-Orient.
Condamné à Brest le 28 octobre 1926, il sera utilisé comme ponton du groupe Armorique de l'école des mousses et rebaptisé Tremintin en 1934. Il était encore amarré dans la rade de Brest en 1940 et fut détruit en 1943.

The Montcalm (1898-1926) was an armoured cruiser of the French Navy. Built in la Seyne from 27 September 1898, she was launched on the 27 March 1900 and was commissioned on the 24 March 1902, before completing her trials, to ferry the President of the Republic, Émile Loubet, to Russia. She arrived in Cronstadt on the 20 May 1902, receiving Tsar Nicholas II for lunch aboard on the 23rd. She later cruised in the Chinese Sea, notably ferrying Marshal Joseph Joffre in November 1921. She was decommissioned on the 28 October 1926 and used as a school ship hulk, as Tremintin, in 1934. She was still docked in Brest in 1940 and was destroyed during the Occupation in 1943.

First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which
I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out how you center
yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Thanks!

Hi there! I am about to begin my own website and was wondering if you know where the best place to buy a website url is?

I am not even sure if that's what its called? (I'm
new to this) I'm referring to "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7063923411222255383&postID=8126372792129753852". Exactly how do I go about acquiring one of these for the website I'm creating?
Thanks!
