    The gunboat "Le Crocodile" cruising in heavy weather off Pointe Saint Mathieu. It was on this boat that engineer Louis Bertin installed and tested his anti-roll keel system. Perhaps this is why the painter depicts the boat in heavy weather. Under a leaden sky, she sails in a heavy swell, plunging and rolling on rough seas, the men on deck in full action, carrying out maneuvers. A brighter patch of sky heralds the end of the downpour.
    Gouache on paper dated 1883.

    Signed lower right, Ch. Floch.
