Présentation de l'éditeur

Mistress Branican (French: Mistress Branican, 1891) is an adventure novel written by Jules Verne There are two chances of never again seeing the friends we part with when starting on a long voyage; those we leave may not be here on our return, and those who go may never come back. But little heed of these eventualities was taken by the sailors who were preparing for departure on board the Franklin in the morning of the 15th of March, 1875. On that day the Franklin, Captain John Branican, was about to quit the port of San Diego, in California, on a voyage across the Northern Pacific. A fine vessel of nine hundred tons was this Franklin—a barquentine fully canvased with gaff sails, jibs and staysails, and with topmast and top-gallant-mast on the fore.
