<HTML>Hi Michael,
I've asked on the French phorum dealing with wrecks on French coasts(http://www.rezoweb.com/forum/marine/wreckforumepave) and got the following answer:
The VOLTAIRE belonged to "Delmas Vieljeux" according to the book written by Charles Limonier and published by the French publisher "Marines éditions": << 125 ans Delmas Vieljeux>>.
The ship was sunk by a German submarine (don't know the number) at about 140 nm NE from Cape Ortegal (Spain).
The crew was composed with 6 officers and 17 crew-members, 10 men died. So there's probably a report somewhere in Spain or in France dealing with the rescue of the 13 survivors, but where ?
The case you need it I can give you the adress of the French publisher.
Bye
