Juan de Nova, TAAF

Another TAAF Scattered Islands cover, thanks for Roland. This one is from the island of Juan de Nova. The stamp features the French navy corvette Dauphine. It was during a voyage in 1776 that the crew of the Dauphine rescued the eight remaining survivors of a ship wreck on what is now Tromelin island, 15 years after they were marooned there.
