Talk:Tromelin Island

Chevalier de Tromelin, Ensign de Tromelin
There were three Tromelin brothers, all Navy officers, during this period. The older, Bernard-Marie Boudin de Tromelin, is usually called "Chevalier de Tromelin", but they all had that title. An archaeological website mentions that the Tromelin who captained Dauphine had the rank of Ensign. The rescue occurred on 29 November 1776. Bernard de Tromelin had been promoted to Lieutenant on 1 May 1763, so that would rule him out. There is a commemorative post stamp of the TAAF with the dates of the youngest of the brothers, Jacques Marie Boudin de Tromelin de La Nuguy, or Tromelin-Lanuguy. This is not a reliable source, but it certainly strengthens suspicions. I have academic History books on related issues on the way, which I hope could decide the matter.
