Has anyone managed to sort out the Coulomb family tree? This page attributes a number of ships to Pierre Coulomb when it also states he was born in 1699! Pierre son of Blaise appears to be the only Pierre so cannot be the builder or designer of most of these ships nor can I find any specific reference for any other Coulomb than Laurent working at Lorient. My interest is le Hasardeux. Ministère de la Marine records show the designer of le Hasardeux as F Coulomb, presumably François.
