Title: DAVOUT (French protected cruiser, 1892-1913)
Caption: Photographed very early in her career, probably at Toulon. Note the clock indicator on the upper maintop of the after military mast. Its purpose is unknown but later devices of this nature were used to indicate the ship's gun firing range of the ship's firing angle off the bow.
