Were there two ships "Pelican"? Canadian Etienne Trudeau's son, Maj. Francoise Trudeau, Sr., who in 1702, built old up-river Mobile's (Alabama) first fort. In 1704 he wed, old Mobile, "Pelican Girl" Jeanne Louise Burel. Her "Pelican Girl" sisters; Genivieve Burel wed Canadian Claude Trapagnier, and sister Marguerite Burel wed Gilbert Dardenne. All from Canada to Mobile. All wed 1704. Their father was Canadian Etienne Burel, old Mobile's first inn keeper and escort from France to Mobile, with his Canadian "King's Daughter" (by first marriage to a soldier) wife Marguerite Roussel Burel. Burel had been banished from Canada because he said it's leader was corrupt. A hearing in France, found in his favor, and thus being in charge of the "Pelican Girls" to old Mobile. Actually I think two other ships accompnied the "Pelican" and he was not on the "Pelican", per se. Jim Southport, North Carolina.
Another point is that this article states the Pelican's career was over in 1697, when she was grounded after the Battle of Hudson Bay, but in Old Mobile Site another Pelican is mentioned in 1704ish, with a link to the pre-move title of this article (1702). Either there were two ships, or they repaired this ship (and this article is incomplete). Further research is needed. --J Clear (talk) 01:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
